Fast Dial 3.4 will not work at all

Running Firefox 5.0.1

I can't get Fast Dial to do anything whatsoever. I had no trouble at all with Fast Dial until now. What is up with that?

@chiaroscuro, I don't understand why you guys just don't make 3.5b1 the default version at addons.mozilla.org as opposed to 3.4?

Most of the problems encountered by people are because they are trying to get 3.4 working and are failing. Even on addons.mozilla.org there are a lot of negative posts which would not be there if they used 3.5b1.

I understand your point exactly
In a way the problem is also created by the nature of the Mozilla page
3.4 had the same difficulty
It was sitting around as a beta
One day I just decided to promote it to the current version.
It takes time of course to go thrugh the review process, but in the end it resolved a few matters
I think rlebrette was hoping for a small beta stage before uploading the non-beta version.
I think too he is a busy person
I will pass on your comment to him

Good to hear from you..

You know what the problem is? It's not that 3.4 doesn't support FF5. It's that 3.4 says it supports Firefox 5.

What needs to happen is this:
STABLE CHANNEL: This supports current version of browser only, and is updated to support the next one a few days before it's actually released. If the update is not ready to be released, then this channel should not be updated.
BETA CHANNEL: This is the version that has a supports tag of OVER 9000 Firefox version. It should be updated as often as possible, and every six weeks the current version moved into the STABLE channel.

This way, the only thing people will be complaining about will be that it needs to be updated. The BETA channel can either be hosted here or in Mozilla's repository.

This would solve many of our problems, but would've also involved releasing 3.5 already...
