Oh yeah. I got a new job. In about 4 weeks I'll leave behind the nonsense that is 2nd tier software support, and begin the nonsense that is Unix administration.

Unfortunately, the IIS server this page is on doesn't know what an xpi file is, so it won't auto-install. You'll have to download it and do File->Open File... on it to install the extension.
