#16 causes firefox to crash when installed in a 3.0 beta
Basically, it creates a node in one document then tries to append it into another document, which now causes an exception. This exception causes it to fail to load the document, and ultimately leads to a crash. Since the extension loads an ebook (the help file) on the first startup, this manifests as a startup crash. I didn't take the time to track down the crash, but fixing the exception is easy enough; I'll attach a patch.
uses adoptNode to avoid the exception

I used the nightly tester tools to disable the compatibility check, of course. Once this bug is fixed it works just fine.
