I use rapidshare as a link checker. Then i use the down them all to download the links. Normally it takes about a half hour to download the links and they show up in my files as little books to be extracted. Now they show up as a little firefox symbol and they cant be extracted and they are being downloaded instantly. I am not sure if my son clicked on something to make it not work. Can anyone tell me why this may be happening?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I just went to use it the other day, and every time after that

Hello Vanessa.

You should ask the extension's author for support.

For future reference, if you go into Tools > Add-ons > Extensions and rightclick the extension you want, you can select "Visit Home Page". That will take you to the place where the extension's author is.
