How to get Stumble Upon to work with Iceweasel, Any tips?
I've never tried. but just a guess.
in IceWeasel address-bar, type "about:config" and press ENTER.
now in search box type "general.useragent.extra.iceweasel"... change the value of this key to "Firefox/2.0.0.x" (x= your iceweasel version)
now try to re-install the extension again.

Firefox (for Debian), & Stumble Upon should install as an extension. When I
recently upgraded my stable boxes from sarge to etch Stumble no longet was
installed into iceweasel, though it is installed on the system. It just does
not show up. Any tips??
Thanks!

I looked at that but this is the line that was set up by the installation
system "general.useragent.extra.firefox default string
Iceweasel/2.0.0.4"
This seems to be exactly backwards to what you suggested. Where do you suggest
I go from here.
BTW: Stumble also does not show in Iceape. Though there is a line in
about:config that is "general.useragent.vendorSub user set string
1.7.8-1sarge8 StumbleUpon/1.999"
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

It sounds like you are installing Stumble with the Debian package. If so,
try purging the Debian package and then reinstalling. If that doesn't work,
purge it again and try installing from addons.mozilla.org.
Also, the ExtentionUninstaller API and the Extension Manager extension
can be very useful.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/202
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/203
(it says they are for Firefox 0.x, but they work fine in
Mozilla/SeaMonkey/IceApe)
Cheers,
Kelly

Well I did this as a round about way but by changing the about:config tip
given by another poster, & then using the add-ons page that you gave me I got
it working by installing the extension directly into iceape from the page
address you listed.
Thanks all!!!

I tried completely removing iceape,iceweasel, all transition files for both &
virtually any other type of references to anythin related to mozilla. I
reinstalled a new browser system and applied the stumble-upon
extension...still does not work.
