I have the read a roo extension for firefox, which is awesome. Buy mine is broken.
I've contacted the developer, but I figured I would query the hive mind to see if anyone with Firefox add-on knowledge would have any suggestions to try
When I click the buttons for read a roo, nothing happens. It is supposed to prompt me for my del.icio.us profile information, and then bookmark it with a tag called toread, and then when I press the other button, it is supposed to grab a random toread link, and mark it read.
But the button, it does nothing.
I've uninstalled the add-on and reinstalled it. Uninstalled it, and deleted any files I can find associated with it.
Any ideas of anything else I can try?
Alternatively. Any other Firefox add ons that do the same or similar? It would be awesome if I could have multiple buttons for ToRead, ToWatch, ToDownload, etc. And then have a button for each that would randomly grab a bookmark of that type and mark it appropriately.

If not, try starting the Firefox profile manager*, creating a new Firefox profile, and installing read a roo while using the new profile. If it works, reinstall your other extensions one by one until it stops working. The last one you installed will be the one that's fighting with read a roo.
*Make a copy of the usual Firefox shortcut on your desktop; rename it "Firefox profile manager"; open its Properties sheet; change what's in the Target box so that the last part reads firefox.exe -ProfileManager instead of just plain firefox.exe and launch Firefox using that shortcut.
