Validator 0.5.5 doesn't have this bug anymore (Re: OT - Beware of Firefox + HTML Validator Extension)

[Christoph Kutzinski <ku...@gmx.de>]

Good point,

I stumbled upon this, too. Thinking this was a Firefox bug, I even filed 
a bug report against it.

Note: The latest version of HTML Validator (0.5.5) fixed this bug. At 
least no more problems in my case.

greetings,
Christoph

I couldn't even install the latest version of Firefox on RH 8.0 because 
it couldn't find some libraries.  I googled the problem and found a post 
stating that some of the contributing developers weren't developing on a 
fresh image and were inposing specific file permissions on those who 
downloaded firefox.  Does this make sense?  I just left it at that and 
continued to use an older version.
