Apologies for asking here, as it's probably not specific to Debian, but I am a Debian user (testing system) and this is a very knowledgable group (about lots of things :).
I use the gmail notifier extension, which lets me know whether I have new email. But I cannot update from 0.3.3 to 0.4 - it appears to install, but when I restart Firefox, the earlier version is still there. I have even uninstalled 0.3.3 and installed 0.4, but 0.3.3 comes back! No doubt it's a permissions problem - so much with Linux is - but I can't figure out where Firefox keeps anything so that I could correct it. (An aside: why does Firefox use all these random strings for profiles and extensions, etc.? Security through obscurity? It makes for a very unpleasant enduser experience, at least for someone used to getting under the hood and editing config files.) I've Googled, searched Firefox help, and looked everywhere I can think of - I can't believe I'm experiencing a unique problem, but I can't find anything useful. You're my last resort!
