Hi Jim, I verified that Venkman works for me, though I did have to jump through hoops to install it. Points: * Open the extensions window with `M-x extensions'. If Venkman was correctly installed, it will appear in the list in the extensions tab. * The "Download Now" button at <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/216> does not seem to work if you are not in Firefox. (I complained to addons.mozilla.org about that.) I obtained the xpi file instead from <http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/downloads/latest/216/addon-216-latest.xpi?src=addondetail> and installed it by directing conkeror to visit that file locally. * After you get it working, you will probably want to use the -batch command line option alongside the -venkman option to stop conkeror from opening a new conkeror window when you start venkman. -- John Foerch _______________________________________________ Conkeror mailing list [email protected] https://www.mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/conkeror
