Problem with Flagfox addon - Load Error
I have Flagfox as an addon. There seems to be a load error, as the flag and information on country of origin of web sites is no longer displaying. Instead, there is an exclamation mark (!) within an orange circle displaying.
How can I correct this?

Also, try clearing your cache.
If that is still producing the error, then please check the Firefox error console (press ctrl+shift+J) for anything that might be Flagfox related and paste it here so I can attempt to see what's breaking.
Firefox handles the actual updates, and seems to be kung fu death grip holding onto caching one of the old version's files past updates and restarts, for some stupid reason. I made an attempt to work around this bug in 5.1.29, and if it's still doing it for some people (it fixed it for a test profile I had), then I'm going to need more info to figure out what to do, especially because it happens so erratically. +++
