Hi Steve
your calling for everyone repeating after you ...
... is the wrong attitude !

Well, If Foxmarks fails to install with a too new FF release, I can
understand ...
... but I do not understand why it shall not work with the previous
stable version anymore !!

Here is a snip of Mozilla's support to me - Please READ carefully:

X-X Yeah, I don't quite understand why Ubuntu is punishing its users by
X-X installing Firefox 3 by default; very few add-ons are ready for use
on
X-X that platform.
X-X
X-X The download error you're experiencing under Firefox 2 is likely due
to
X-X a corrupt Firefox profile; downgrading a profile from Firefox 3 to
X-X Firefox 2 is quite likely to cause problems.  You can find more
X-X information about how to create a new profile here:

XX http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles

Please take notice what the given link shows.
It starts with Windows instructions and clicking on Linux ...
... it still show the same Windows instruction. ;-((

This happens with FF2 & FF3 on two systems !! ;-((

Well, I would not mind if installation would work properly:
With a proper installation i / one can easily downlaod the stored
bookmarks from Foxmarks ! ;-)

Like this indeed, without the bookmark getting sync'ed it becomes a
fatal and vital case !!!
