A few weeks back I posted a question regarding not being able to add any add-ons. (I wish there was some way of finding my own previous posts!) Anyway it seems that the Linux versions are broken and it can't be done. AH! but it can! As previously mentioned , the thing hangs at the point where the 'Cancel/Add' dialogue box shows up. Someone suggested using the TAB key to cycle round to the dialogue but that didn't work. BUT ... if you click back to your inbox, THEN the TAB key does work. TAB till you get to the 'Add' button, hit ENTER, and voila, you have added an add-on :-)

Chosen solution

Perhaps https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/rayandrews/ and click on the 14 questions link to see everything you have asked. Apparently only one of which came out as a solution.

Ah, there it is. Thanks. Not to whine, but I find the layout of this forum particularly confusing. Hard to find what you're looking for. Mind, there are much worse. And I'd better go back and see how many were solved. I'd say my post above is a sorta half-solved. Nor not solved, more like worked around. Still, it did work.

Matt: I just went thru all my questions. I have half of them marked with a 'chosen solution'.
