Nick, Tks for your reply. A couple of things:
1. I have upgraded via the Extensions Panel. Do I have addons.mozilla.org or del.icio.us version of extension?... How would I know?... 2. I may be wrong, but I suspect that this is the most common way of upgrading / installing newer version of the extension. Therefore, which version you decide to push through this channel seems important. (From your note - and from lack of problem George cited - I'm assuming I have the del.icio.us ext. Is that right?...) 3. http://del.icio.us/help/firefox/success?src=ffext1.2 seems no different than http://del.icio.us/help/firefox/success?src=ffext1.1 In particular, the Change Log is identical.
