I upgraded to firefox 4 only to discover it no longer works with sxipper addon....is this going yo be resolved? and if not why?
upgrade to firefox 4
Chosen solution
by pupadiFor the simple reason that the Sxipper is not supported on Firefox 4. Also, note that the Sxipper has been removed from the Firefox Addon page (you can't find it anywhere on Mozilla Firefox Addons web page).
I'm not sure if there would be a newer version of this wonderful plugin anymore - the latest release was done about an year back!

An alternative to Sxipper maybe an addon called lastpass which is also free. I just did a cursory glance at Sxipper website and its function and I am sure lastpass can fullfill all or most of them.

If that is not to your liking, ou can also force Sxipper compatibility with Firefox 4, but that is not recommended.
