Saw this post on the Calacanis weblog (yes, I know, I read the Calacanis weblog. I can’t help it. It’s road-accident blogging; you just gotta stop and look) and thought “Yay! Now I can see what all the fuss is about with Alexa“.
Downloaded the toolbar, installed it, worked fine. Gives you a bunch of related links to sites you visit, gives you an Alexa ranking for the site, adds another search option. Bunch of good stuff.
Five minutes after installing it, Firefox tells me that its updated to version 2.0.0.5 and needs to restart. After restarting, it tells me that the Alexa plug-in is not compatible with this version of Firefox so will be disabled. Damn!
So, will it be another five year wait before it’s working again?
20/7 UPDATE: No, we don’t have to wait five years. Just check out this entry and follow the instructions, or go straight to this site to download the extension you need. I’ve tried it and it’s working fine on my system. Take the usual care, though, if you load it on to yours because it has the potential to break everything the next time something gets updated.
