Hi Neil, Yes, I was just this minute using iViewFox version 1.2.7 to download "Midsomer Murders". I am using Firefox version 3.6.16. I had the same problem some weeks ago when I updated to a version of iViewFox-- from memory it was 1.1.21 but I could be wrong. I too reverted to 1.1.20 at the time. The successive update was also flawed (it may have been 1.1.22) but the next version after that worked fine.
You can check the version you are running by going to the Firefox menu and selecting Tools => Add-Ons. All your plug-ins (called add-ons in the Firefox interface) will then be listed with version numbers. I suggest you go to the iViewFox site and get the latest version, namely 1.2.8 and reinstall. Don't forget the command that must be issued from Terminal on the first use, but you will be prompted to enter that. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/iviewfox/ By the way, I have not yet upgraded to Firefox 4.0, but the iViewFox site claims that iViewFox works with Firefox version 4.0.
