Did you install Greasemonkey? Can you remove it?
Greasemonkey is a Firefox extension that allows you to write scripts that alter the web pages you visit.

If you didn't install greasemonkey, I'm not sure how it got there. Maybe it was required for the other stuff? (Tab Mix Plus, Session Manager.) Can you update to a newer version of greasemonkey?
P-C, it sounds to me like you need to nuke it from orbit and start over. Google's not finding anything on those error messages.
Here's some steps to completely uninstall Firefox (and save your profile). [link]
After that, reinstall Firefox, restore your profile, reinstall your extensions and see how it goes. TMP says it plays nice with everything up to Firefox 3.0a1.
More on Vista:
Guess what? Despite Microsoft’s efforts to provide for a more fluid and agreeable interface with Vista’s Aero, Pfeiffer Consulting found Vista to be even worse than Windows XP (SP2) --and of course Mac OS X. Their conclusion is backed with cold, hard research. Pfeiffer Consulting conducted the research based on an independently financed series of benchmarks that establish how Vista impacts User Interface Friction (UIF) and user efficiency.
Last time I had User Interface Friction, I got a nasty rash.

Did you install Greasemonkey? Can you remove it?
Yeah, those are three extensions I have. And none of them work now.
Can you update to a newer version of greasemonkey?
I don't think this has anything to do with Greasemonkey in particular.

Really? I just found some pages on it earlier. It looks like it's something in the new installer, and there's something about capital letters that's screwing stuff up, but I'm not sure where and how to fix it.
I\'ve got a musical toy with a built in speaker, and an 1/8\" mini auxiliary input jack. It doesn\'t have an aux out jack. I don\'t need the functionality that the input jack provides, but I
do
really need it to have an aux out jack so that i can run it through an external mixer or amp or whatever. So I was thinking of clipping the two wires that connect to the internal speaker, clipping the three wires that connect to the aux in jack, and somehow connecting the speaker wires to the aux in, effectively converting it to an aux out.
1. Will this work?
2. The aux in is a stereo jack (hence the three wires), but the speaker is mono. How do I connect the two wires to the three pin aux jack?
3. Anything else I should know before attempting this?
I have a really basic Excel question. I have a document that contains a column of dollar amounts which is totalled at the bottom. Is there a way to freeze that total so that if we delete the some or all of the numbers in the column that total won't change.
Here's where the potential problem with that idea lies. The leads heading to the speaker are going to be after a small amp somewhere in the device. Connecting those to mixer that is expecting a line level signal may overdrive the inputs. What you are really looking to do is to tap the signal before it hits the amp that drives the speaker.

If you mean permanently freeze it, then you can simply copy the cell, and then use Paste Special >> values to change the formula to a value.
Sue in Excel - you could simply convert it a value -either by typing over it, or copying it, then using "Edit Special (uncheck "all" check "value") to copy the value only into the cell.

Darn. I\'m afraid that may be beyond my circuit-bending abilities. I wouldn\'t know where on the circuit board to tap...
