when i update or download a new extesion for firefoz it says i have to restart the browser for it to be working well i closed firefox then re-opened it and it still says i need to restart firefox what do i do?

try terminating the firefox process from the task manager, then re open firefox

iv done that it dosent work even when i restart the computer

what version of firefox are you using?
1.07 or a beta version?

1.5 beta

hmm
that might be the problem, the extension might not be supported in the beta version. try downgrading to version 1.07 and see what happens

oh uh try
close firefox.
go to your profile directory  find your "extensions.rdf"  file and rename it to "extensions.old.rdf"
restart firefox.

tell me if that fixes it

no , ive had this happen in everything > 1.0  and downgrading wont solve it , before 1.5 i used to just create a new profile but now extensions are handled differently so deleting /renaming the extensions.rdf normally fixes such problems

true, but when browsing through the extension page, there are extensions not supported by the beta, so he could of mistakenly chosen the one which doesnt support the beta

the extensions i have are supported and yes i do have rc3 and i will try out some of the things you all said thank you for the help.
