Okay, I've downloaded the user agent for Firefox, but when I call up the download screen and click open to install, it says:

Windows cannot open this file:

File: user_agent_switcher-0.6.5-fx+mz.xpi

Anyway, it continunes on then asks if I want to use the web service to find the appropriate program. Well, I've tried. I've looked up what an .xpi is, and I'm still left clueless. I've read articles but they only mean a jumble of words to me.

I just started today, so am I missing something painfully obvious?

theres about 2 or 3 differnt user agent switcher extensions.

but when you download the extension, it should install automatically.

try downloading another version of a UA switcher

Would they any chance happen to be:

useragentswitcher.xpi

useragentswitcher_localized.xpi

user_agent_switcher-0.6-fx.xpi

user_agent_switcher-0.6.5-fx+mz.xpi

Because I've tried all of them, none of them will install themselves automatically, and I'd really like it if I didn't have to fiddle with my Firefox files.

i use firefox 0.8 instead of the latest firefox.

so perhaps it doesnt auto install for the new firefox, or the extensions are only compatable with the older firefox(shoudlnt be the case)

I have downloaded an agentswitcher, but I dont really know, what I should do with it. That's the first time I've ever heared of it. What is it good for. Plz tell me. Maybe then I can find out the way for the 3rd Basic Mission.
