Cannot install

Firefox sometimes displays a popup saying that it cannot install the extension because it has an "Invalid file hash". This is a known Firefox issue and not a problem with the extension download file. Restart your browser (ensure that you close all windows and dialogs). If the extension is not installed after the restart, try to download it again.

Cannot change options

If after installing a new version you cannot seem to change any options or clicking the OK button on the Options dialog doesn't make it close, try resetting all options by using the Defaults button first.

If this does not work then open up the javascript/error console and look for any error messages that appear when you click the OK button. In order to see all the messages that can appear in the javascript/error console you may have to change some Firefox settings. Open a new tab with a URL of "about:config". Scroll down until you see "*javascript.options.showInConsole". Ensure this is set to "true", restart Firefox and try changing some options and clicking OK again. Send to us any information that looks like TV may have a fault.
