Yeah, no, I did that.  The problem was that it was a few months old :)
(but the original problem was that a firefox extension made my browser
unusable and I couldn't uninstall it.)

As a side note, Gilles was talking about an extension that backs up your
bookmarks every time you close down your browser that no longer seemed
to exist...well I found it just in case anyone is interested.  It seems
the original site is down but if you go here:
http://software.s48.xrea.com/mozilla/index.php?Bookmark%20Backup#content_1_3

Just click on the bookmarkbackup.xpi link and it will install.  The site
is not in English but it is pretty obvious what to click on :).
