I'm running FF 3.0.1 on Ubuntu Hardy. Navigating to the link above
produces a dialog

-----------------------------------------------------------
"Opening petname-tool-beta1.xpi"

petname-tool-beta1.xpi

which is a: XPI file
from http://waterken.sourceforge.net

What should Firefox do with this file?
( ) Open with [ Browse ]
(+) Save file

[ ] Do this automatically for files like this from now on
-----------------------------------------------------------

Firefox on ubuntu hardy doesn't automatically handle this.  I'm not sure
how to go about installing it. Choosing "Save file" and double-clicking
the file in the Firefox Downloads window opens it in a graphical archive
manager that allows me to browse its contents (e.g. the manifest etc.)

Cheers
