[cap-talk] Testers needed (Was: Petname tool for Firefox 3.x?)

[Tyler Close]

Hi Toby,

If you open your local copy of the file using the File -> "Open
File..." menu option, Firefox should recognize the file as an
extension.

Sorry, this is tricky to install. It will be easier once it's uploaded
to the Mozilla addons site.

Thanks for testing,
--Tyler
