Ubiquity's ideas into Firefox 3.next.

Something weird is going on in Linux, I do not think it is
taskfox-related, per se.

INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: Could not get the plugin manager
System error?:: Success

and then it just crashes HARD.

I will file a bug with the plugin manager component.

That is indeed weird - it ran fine on Try. Any chance you get the same
thing with today's 3.6pre nightly? I merged from mozilla-central right
before I kicked off that build.

Is Taskfox available as a FF extension?
