[Vimperator] 0.5 not working for me

[Pierre Andrews]

Hello,

the install.log of firefox says:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/addons/4891/vimperator-0.5-fx.xpi
 --  2007-08-31 09:35:29
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


     Install completed successfully  --  2007-08-31 09:35:29


The firefox console, just after starting doesn't give any errors, just
two messages from vimperator:
vimperator: Initializing vimperator object...
vimperator: Loading module options...

That's not helping much.
I'll wait for 0.5.1 and we'll see.

Pierre
