[LUG] Firefox add-ons

 

Seeing the posts about ebooks from Torbay library I looked at what we could 
access and epub format seemed a good idea.  The easiest way to read it seemed 
to be through the epub add-on to Firefox.  I have to say, I've never had much 
luck with firefox add-ons.  And sure enough, this was no exception, it hung 
there waiting for Mozilla before timing out.  Tried again and got to install 
which eventually came up with error message 228, cache disabled, but it 
wasn't.  This is in Firefox 3.5 in Mepis 8, Debian based and my firewall is 
switched off.

I've googled the problem and tried various things to no avail.  Then I tried 
my laptop which currently has Mint xfce with firefox 3.6.  epub add-on 
installed no problem.

I don't think it is a firefox version thing and I can't see any difference in 
the preferences of the 2 versions.  Any thoughts?

Has anyone used the library service yet with any format?
