Solved Where is this firefox add-on

[JerometheGiraff]

I recently installed Pure Reader an excellent RSS reader for FireFox which you may want to look at, but I've spent already more then :10 minutes looking for how to load the darn thing ?

The developers home page has a Discussions area. Maybe some help there?

I've searched the discussions, I can't find how to load the damn add-on arrggghhh. If I post in the discussions, the forums look a little bit as though tumbleweed has rolled though once or twice I may wait for a reply worse then the situation I'm in presently.

click the top bar in firefox click customise and see if the icon is in there ,if so add it to your bar by dragging it where you want it (at the top) and that should do it i added it and in customise i see an rss icon that says subscribe ,im not sure its the same but its what i see.
actually that doesnt do it ,sorry im just as puzzled as you where it is.

 

[Layback Bear]

The way I do it. Tools, Add on's, then I click on which one I want and in the lower right their is a box marked (add to Foxfire)

I know all those methods, I still can't find it.

If you are using FF4, try:

Options\General. Click on the Manage Add-ons 'button' (bar, really) near the bottom right. This will bring up the Add-ons Manager page. On the left, click on 'Extensions'. If your add on was properly installed, you should see it there, along with Options, Disable and Remove buttons for each add-on. If it's not there, try reinstalling it.

i think the op knows its installed but cannot find it anywhere in firefox ,i have to say i came across the same problem it doesnt show anywhere,despite showing as installed in extensions .

Can you get the add-on to work in FireFox 4. I'm still using 3.6 and although the add-on installs, there is no add-on to load, I've searched the entire firefox browser the only thing I come across is it's listed in the add-ons.

This add-on is not properly developed, there are comments on firefox page regarding this add-on people getting it work, is it really working for them ?

 

[boohbah]

no its nowhere to be seen in FF4, it shows as installed in extensions but there is no icon or any mention of it in a menu, time to remove it methinks.

 

[JerometheGiraff]

If anyone can get this add-on to work, let me know.

Do you have a Google Reader account?
from here Pure Reader - Download

Once you install Pure Reader on Firefox, Google Reader's interface will immediately be updated. The new design looks cleaner and more elegant, devoting plenty of space for text and images, and focusing on what's important – that is, the news you read.

Edit: I am using FF 4.0.1

Bongo beat me to it. Pure Reader is just a skin for Google RSS Reader.
