Thanks for your patience and good nature James - circumstances have of
course conspired to make me look like a total numpty 

( http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/1.0.6.html )

so I humbly withdraw my whinge :)
(assuming of course we have the 1.0.6 stuff in hoary and not the extension
breaking 1.0.5 )

It still makes me twitchy to have a week long gap waiting for a patch,
but I do take on board the whole testing issue now.

Cheers
