I dropped Netflix for a variety of reasons (pricing on Blu-ray for example) and have my first disc by mail from Blockbuster. So far so good.

I understand that the 922 will have to wait a bit for streaming. Okay I can wait (I dropped Netflix streaming so I am waiting...).

But when I tried to look at online content in Firefox, the addin will not load as non-compatible. I use FF Ver. 7.*

A bit of research found this:

That XPI has a maxVersion of 6, it needs to be updated for Firefox 7.

​
You could save that extension to disk, and open it to bump the maxVersion yourself if you feel adventurous.

​
If you don't already have it, download and install the 7-Zip program - it is a file archive utility manager program for Windows - free & open source.
7-Zip
​
Once 7-Zip is installed, right-click the XPI file and select Open with > 7-Zip File Manager

​
Once you see the contents of that XPI, locate the install.rdf file.
​
Right-click the install.rdf file and select Edit & your text editor will open. Locate the em:maxVersion ine and edit to read 7.0.* . Then use File > Save as... in your text editor and 7-Zip will ask you if
​
you want to save the changes to the archive - don't use any compression if you are asked about that.

​
To install en extension which you have on local disk, you can use File > Open File... or simply drag the XPI into the Firefox browser window.

​
You will need to test that extension to make sure it actually still works in Firefox 7.​

Sure enough the maxVersion is 6.0! Where are these guys? Unfortunately after editing the install.rdf file and saving, Firefox returns "corrupt addin" and will not load it.

So I have use Chrome which works. But I had to download Chrome just for Dish Online.

Seems that the addin guys should be on top of this...

I'm using Firefox 7 just fine. I honestly don't have a clue as to the XPI you are talking about.

Ditto! I'm using Firefox 7 with no issues also.

Who says dinner or lunch has to be the only good meals of the day?

Honey butter grits with scrambled eggs and grilled boneless pork ribs on flakey biscuits washed down with cranberry juice.

Cold morning today, only 32 degrees. Fired up the oven and made cinnamon rolls (from a tube) and a pot of coffee.

I like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
