  Well, I want to "fix" the Ogamecompactor addon for FireFox, it can be
found at http://ogamecompactor.mozdev.org/

  They have a mailing list, but the only messages in that list are the
messages of people asking "are the developers still alive?". It is a
tool to process battle reports in an online multiplayer game named
Ogame. In fact, the problem is known as "it doesn't work with FireFox3".
That is not "true", it should be "unless you use the default game skin,
it doesn't work with FireFox3", and other players have started
developing tools to do the same job, but not integrated with the browser
("copy the report, paste is at this tool, and click..."). So I think
probably it is some problem with the way FireFox3 handles the
permissions to access external resources... So I hope it is not so
complex to fix... First, I need to try to get the error message, and
then try to figure what security policy is not being followed by the
extension...

  Thanks for the advices, I will read about how these things work...

 Best Regards
