[Biobar] Version 1.3 of Biobar now available.

[Francis Ouellette]

Dear Jawahar,

I have a problem with version 1.3. I'm able to uninstall
it, and install a previous version (1.2.3).

I'm running on xp, with firefox 1.0, and when I try
to install 1.3, install is fine, but next to "Search" biobar
shows "choose term", and there are no choices there, and
if you type anything in the "for" box, nothing happens (in
that window, or in any other tab).

I'm now back to 1.2.3 (which works fine).

cheers,

f.
