Unable to use Sage or Sage-too add-on

Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Package: 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1

I can install either (or both) of the plugins Sage and Sage-too but I have no way of using them. There is no sage icon in the navigation bar and sage doesn't appear int he Tools drop-down menu. The sidebar can be seen by entering this url: chrome://sage/content/sage.xul but this opens that data in the main window making it basically unusable.

I had been able to use this previously with FF3. I believe that was with package 3.0~b5+nobinonly+0.ubuntu3 but I have been unable to downgrade to that package using synaptic.

I have been unable to find a workaround for this problem, however,

Where did you get the Sage packages from? What versions are you trying
to use?

Corrected problem by:
1. Removing (apt-get remove --purge firefox)
2. Deleting (moving) ~/.mozilla
3. Reinstalling (apt-get install firefox

Reinstalled sage from previous location and problem is solved. I still have the offending .mozilla folder and all of its contents if further info is needed for this bug report.

Please see if the versions in our repos do the same thing.

Get the sage packages from Ubuntu repos and see if they fix your issue.
