Download the file (use the save as ... ) on to your desktop. You should get a file name like "viewmycurrency.xpi" or something like that. 2. Open the .xpi file (which U just downloaded) with any unzip utility 3. In this .xpi file you will find a lot of files .... in particular a file called "install.rdf" 4. Open this file in a text editor, and go to the paragraph marked with "install" and delete all the way till the end of the paragraph, (marked with another "install"). 5. Now you have taken care of the "secure updates" error without fiddling with FF3 6. Look for another word like "maxVersion". There would be a 3.0.0* by its side. Replace the 3.0.0* with just a 3.* 7. Save the changes to install.rdf 8. Save the changes into the .xpi file 9. Right click this file and open it with Firefox. This will install the modified version on your browser without a hitch. I hope it helps atleast 1 person. PS - I don't know what to do about the fickle exchange rates. My suggestion for making VMC work on FF3.

If you could fix this it would be awesome. The conversion in Firefox 3 is incorrect, it doubles GBP from USD so where $185 should equal £105, it shows $350.

Pls ref my post 146 and 147. Now I am referring to FF 3.0.1. Here the servers are not shown and so I am not able to select. Secondly the Update exchange rate button also does not work. Any one has any idea ? @Lucein
