I thought the FireFox related addition would be interesting to some of you (since 40%+ of you are using it.. ;)

Installed over v1.1 easily and with no issues (on XP, Office 2007).

I really do wish there was a Readme, Change or Version History link/document/menu item, etc. It bugs me not knowing what all stuff has been added to a given version versus pervious versions… That’s one thing I like about many free/oss projects is that they maintain a change history timeline so you can easily see the stuff added to a given version, what was in past versions, etc.
