idator=0A =0A=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A  =0A =0A=0AHi Colin,=0A=0A=0A=0AI think =
it is due to a C++ librayr called nstidy.dll that you can find in the=0Apro=
file directory of Firefox.=0A=0AI have no Vista and never seen the problem.=
 I think this is due to the fact=0A=0A=0A=0A    * that Vista does not allow=
 Normal users to install binary=0Aon their machine.=0A=0A    * but the exte=
nsion need to be installed like the user who=0Ause it=0A=0A    * but seems =
the extension contains a binary, it does not=0Awork =0A=0A=0A=0AKyle, that =
I CC here, asked if copying this DLL in the Firefox directory would=0Awork.=
 I think so !!=0A=0A=0A=0AIf you copy the file" nstidy.dll " + a empty file=
 called=0A".autoreg" to Program File/Mozilla Firefox, it should make the=0A=
extension work as a normal user.=0A=0A=0A=0ANormally they resides in a dire=

ou can also download the extension (.xpi) file. Rename it to .zip, unzip th=
