Congrats! That's awesome, although I did get a download error (-228) on the xpi when I tried to install it just now.

Obviously, there's substantial overlap between you and Bountii, although that may have nothing to do with why you were not funded. I do tend to wonder how quickly these sort of strategic interference issues are increasing for YC, though. It's a lot easier to turn someone down than to risk an insult (or worse) to an previous company.

Definitely something we'd wondered about (re: bountii =) ). Even more entertaining was that one of the guys from Bountii was at YC prior to our interview answering questions for pre-interviewees =)

What OS / FireFox version are you getting an error on?

Heh. Awkward!

Here's my version string from the About box:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071127 Firefox/2.0.0.11

Running on Tiger. No proxy server.

I can wget/curl it just fine, and it works just fine on my Intel/Leopard MacBook, so no emergency.

P.S. Works today (one day later). Well done.
