I have Firefox 5 Beta, and have attempted to install Foxtab as an add on. The result is that when I click on the Foxtab icon, the pages go black and I can only restart the browser to see anything. Any suggestions?

The above reinstalling solution does not help buddy. I guess we neet to wait till the Foxtab guys to give an update for FF 5 Beta.

It's using a now reserved name in javascript (class) see bug 637204 changing class to a non reserved name eg. test in window.js on lines 1543, 1546 and 1553 will make it work.

The proper link is https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/foxtab/versions/ as the 1.4.3 version has yet to be reviewed for public.

Mine isn't black, my chosen background is still there as is the Google search box and it was working with Beta5 until 2 days ago, but my windows inside disappeared. I can see an click on changing the window size, it saves but there are still no windows. The other settings buttons do not work, its like they are frozen. There is also another set of buttons showing under the window sizing buttons but I dont know what they are as I can barely see them. Also, when I right click my mouse on the page, my context list doesn't show up/work. Nothing will work to take an image of it.
