how can I get the readability bookmarklet to work
Firefox 3.6.8 in Windows XP Home on a Toshiba netbook. How can I get the "readability" bookmarklet to work? It works just fine in Camino on an Apple mini desktop computer running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger.) Readability uses javascript, which I do have turned on. The problem (of it not working) doesn't seem to have anything to do with the NoScript add-on either, as I tried allowing everything on the page and it still didn't work. Any ideas of what to try next?

Hi there.
By chance, I too have the readability bookmarklet installed (but I don't use it that much, to be honest), and it works ok for me. It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in safe mode (don't forget to select Disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See this article for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and this one for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
