Mandriva 2008 and broken FF extensions..

Have dl'd Mandriva 2008 and installed in VM: nice: looks good, goes well, good app selection: all good OOB, but, using FF as browser and installed TabMixPlus fro control: Mandriva breaks this extension

This alone is an annoyance: anybody know how to fix this ?
Mandriva has remodelled FF ? Is that Kosher?

This gives me pause for thought re other extensions and functionality with FF in Mandriva.

regards.

 

Just a idea: maybe you could try the dev builds of TMP.

 

Thx WSFuser:I'll try that..
oops forgot about that forum: posted there and will copy here if I get a response...in the meantime ??

 

If the problem is Mandriva's customized Firefox, then try a normal copy or a build such as Swiftfox.

 

been away for a while:
if anyone is still interested in this topic: found some extra info:
problem seems to be associated with "64bit compiles" and ?KDE
