The xul-ext-bindwood 1.99.0-0ubuntu1.1 package currently in natty-proposed should fix this. Can you confirm?

I have installed
   xul-ext-bindwood 1.99.0-0ubuntu1.1 from natty-proposed
on two natty machines and nothing happens on both.

Firefox is latest 5.0 from natty-updates.

'locate bindwood' gives me:

There is nothing in the logs which points to an error.

So no sign of any bindwood activity. Seems firefox is simply not doing anything with the extension.

Best regards, Anton

How did you verify it isn't working? I tested it here by clearing desktopcouch, opening futon and then watching firefox add my bookmarks after i started it. It works fine here.

In any case, the package needs copying from proposed. I had no idea it was still waiting to be copied. It's not really acceptable that I had this ready more than 5 weeks ago and it's still sitting there.
