For starters, the topic under discussion is the add-ons for FF and TB 
and not openSUSE 8-) .

Secondly, within hours of being notified that his/her extension in 
incompatible with FF the author of the 'offending' add-on amended it and 
this morning, the person who was complaining about it, wrote that he was 
able to have it updated when he fired up FF a short time ago. Can 
openSUSE match this? O:-) .

Finally, have a read of this:
