I downloaded this Firefox add-on at the suggestion of my company tech, but I don't know where to place the file so it will work with Firefox. Can find any documentation. Help!
You may have downloaded the file with IE and then it wouldn't have known what to do with the .xpi file. The easiest way to install this is to go back to the IE View installation page and click on the install link using Firefox. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest posting to the project's mailing list.
If you launch Firefox, go to file menu, choose 'Open File...', then navigate to and open the ieview.xpi file.
Firefox should recognize that this is a Firefox extension; unless something in your Firefox "about:config" has been modified, Firefox will correctly install it for you. You might need to restart Firefox.
Is is possible for the search sidebar to be directed at searching a particular web page? I am active in a prolific discussion group, and the archives from the past five years are maintained as a table of links showing month/author only--not even thread names. There is no search tool on that archive page, and I would like to be able to direct Firefox to perform a keyword search on only the page it is currently displaying (and all the linked items), and return a display of all the assorted messages that have the keyword in them. Having links to click is not helpful when you are looking for a specific message and you don't remember when it was written. Thanks for your consideration!
