Comment 3 for bug 440478

Hi

No, I just checked with the `shiretoko' from "ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa",
and it changed nothing... Well, the bug could be in the plugin itself I
suppose ?! My current version (of the plugin) is 6-15-1. Is there another
source (like a ppa) I could add to install a different version for checking
this?
