[Companion] Refresh problem

[Brian Kennelly]

If you change the toolbar, are the changes reflected when you restart 
the browser?  If not, then you have a problem with the Yahoo! feed.  If 
so, then the problem is with the refresh.  Maybe we can narrow it down.

Some other things to check:

   1. You may have on old version hiding on your system (especially if
      you are running Firefox and had previously installed an old
      version.) 
         1. The correct location for 'yahootoolbar.jar' is under your
            [profile]/Extensions directory in Firefox, or the
            application Chrome directory in Mozilla or Netscape.  I have
            seen the refresh problem in Firefox when the jar file is in
            both places. 
         2. If you are running Firefox, and there is a copy of
            yahootoolbar in the Firefox Chrome directory:
               1. Delete yahootoobar.jar, chrome.rdf and the overlayinfo
                  directory from the Chrome directory
               2. Edit the installed-chrome.txt file and remove all
                  references to yahootoolbar.
               3. Restart Firefox
   2. <>You should also check the Javascript  console for errors.
   3. Using some proxies can be a problem (Proxomitron has been
      reported: bug #7481).
   4. If none of that helps, you can try disabling other extensions one
      at a time to see if one of them is causing the problem.
