I encountered a quirk when I was checking the settings through about:config. The line

neopets.toolbar.AlertPeek.NewAlert;true

was set to false. When I toggled it to true, I got a message in a yellow box within the about:config window, saying there was a new alert. The link still didn't work. I quickly went to IE and copied the link and then used that in FF3. It was too late, but apparently that condition needs to be reset to true.

When I went back to about:config, all the timer intervals were back to 300 and the peek values were back to false. :grrr:

I really doubt they will update anything for FF3 if it's not related to the NCMall or something that drives sales. Now if they decide to add a button that takes you directly to purchases, they might consider it. :S

Does anyone know how to make the changes in about:config setting stick?

Well there are really no major changes in the steps, so I'd say the guide is fine as it is. :yes:

I just upgraded to FF3.0.1 on Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium, and when I tried to edit the Install file your instructions to "click properties and open the file" didn't make sense. There was no option in Properties to open the file. I opened the file normally in Notepad and changed the line, both to 3.0b4 and 3.0.* and neither one worked. I couldn't drag the archive to the add-ons window at the end of the process. Maybe I had to do a "save as" in Notepad to a particular setting? I just hit Save.

HOWEVER, when I just tried to install the toolbar, it worked. At this point, the other addon to get the blinking neomail alert to work is not working. I just downloaded the "latest" beta (3.0.0beta3) from the site. I guess I won't know if the Tarla alert is working until I find out I missed one.

The only other thing that is different is that there are no icons in the toolbar drop down list now, which I hope means it will be faster, but probably not.

If anyone else knows how to get the toolbar alert to work on this, or if I missed a step with the about:config to get the alert working, please let me know.

Thanks for a great tutorial!

.K. W is a "proxy" and where do I find one? :sad01_anim:

You could google it and figure it out, but other threads I've read (since I can't get on neopets I have spent a lot of time looking for answers) say that TNT punished people for using proxy servers. I have also read the proxy connections are slow. Wikipedia would be another place to get educated about proxies.

I am just waiting it out, getting more frustrated and thinking this may cure my neopet and lab zapping addictions. :S

I have the same problem...

I think that is from that stupid ads..That's why my

sister installed ads block on Mozilla Firefox and now

everything is okay :happystrange:

I have had adblock installed and running for over a year and it never caused problems. Just in case, I deactivated it and I still can't get onto neopets. For the past month or so I have stopped playing some of the games (Windows Vista 64-bit) because I get a blank screen but the status bar says "Done" and then I have to go back to the games room and restart the game. FYI - hitting reload in the middle of a card game can act the same as turning the cards, so I have to get to the window that gives me the "Continue playing" button. I don't know if this is related to the current problem or not.

Many people have commented on this on another thread and they all have the same problem. I can't get to neopets from any browser on any computer from a Mac, Windows XP, Windows Home, or Windows Vista on Firefox, Explorer, Safari, or Camino.

I recommend adding adblock to see if it solves your problem, though.

Use the first 3 levels to go as quickly as possible. So..

 

Thank you! I had figured out the speed part pretty much on my own, except no matter what, he catches me at the ice cream level. It will be interesting to see what happens with the awards. My first submitted score was for Abigail around 2800 and then I submitted today for AAA at about 3400. I am still trying to get to 5000, too, with Abby since that's the only hope I have. It will be very frustrating if I finally make it and that first score submitted is the one they count.

Any advice on avoiding the guard would be appreciated. I'm very lame at these games, but I have made it near the end of the ice cream level but the guard always gets me. Is there a way to foil him or eliminate him?

HELP! I am really lame at these games, and the furthest I've made it is to the ice cream level, but usually the minion gets me before I run out of lives. Is there a way to foil him? I already figured out that I have to be as fast as possible advancing through the other 3 levels, and if I get delayed for any reason, the minion gets me.

Does anyone know if we don't beat the 5000 score by today, do we still get a related prize as long as we sent in a score? The DD page shows my score from yesterday and says "not yet."
