I’ve been playing around with User Agent switcher and can confirm that you get offered this extension if you are using Firefox on Windows, but not on Linux. Having downloaded the extension using a UA string that claims to be Firefox on Windows but is really Firefox on Linux, the extension then fails to install.

Suck.

FWIW, Stuart, I believe ffox extensions can embed native code (or in one case that I know of, an entire JVM.) So they aren’t necessarily cross-platform.

Tony: hm. Don’t know, guvnor. Firefox extensions should work everywhere, as far as I know :(

Hmmm, following this recommendation I’ve signed up to the service. (20 free 6×4″ prints!) When I go to upload photos there’s no option to use the QuickUpload tool as mentioned above and in their FAQ. I’m running Firefox 2.0.0.1 on Ubuntu 6.10 AMD64. Perhaps the tool is 32-bit only?

I mailed digital.service at truprint.co.uk; I did get the address from the website, but I forget where.

Could you post the email address you used to applaud them? I tried grokking their pages real quick for it, but I’m guessing it must be buried somewhere in a page after you sign up…?

Thanks,
Dennis
