[Wtr-general] I want to use Watir to test Firefox and Safari

[Angrez Singh]

Hi Nathan,

If you have downloaded the xpi from
http://people.mozilla.com/~davel/jssh/then it would save it as .zip
you need to manually change the extension to
.xpi and then follow the installation instructions for XPI. If you have
downloaded from
http://code.google.com/p/firewatir/trunk/Installation/JSShxpi/ then it
shouldn't be a problem.

I'll document this also. Are there any other problems that you are facing
Firewatir? Your feedback/suggestions are welcomed.

Regards,
Angrez
