[Theme] Red Cats (green flavor) 5.6.3 [2014-03-01]

[graceonline]

My Red Cats theme disappeared this week, replaced by the default theme. Is this connected with the new 3.5.4 Firefox version? I went to Tools/Addons/Themes and selected Red Cats. The "Use This" button was inactive and no amount of restarting Firefox changed that. I uninstalled the theme and attempted, repeatedly, to re-install, but I get an error message:

Firefox could not install the file at

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ddondetail

because: Unexpected installation error
Review the Error Console log for more details.
-203

Can you help? I love this theme.

Nice theme! Cats all over the world are applauding.

Is your avatar a Scottish Fold? I think I'm in love.

Dang, MozillaZine is misbehaving yet again - there are new posts but I don't recall getting reply notifications. My apologies to roparr2 and graceonline. *Makes a mental note not to rely on the reply notification feature in the future*

Okay, even though it's been a few months since the last post, I'll answer the questions anyway - for the sake of consistency.

@graceonline:
If you're getting error 203 while trying to install an add-on, you may try the following:

1. Close Firefox.
2. Open your profile folder.
3. Delete these extensions.* files or rename them to extensionsOld.* :
- extensions.ini
- extensions.cache
- extensions.rdf
4. Start Firefox, the extensions.* files will be recreated and the problem will be fixed.

@roparr2:
Nope, my avatar is not a Scottish Fold - just some imaginary kitty.

thanks Red_Fat_Lazy_Cat, your themes are best
i wonder if you are planning to make a Red Cats theme for Firefox 4 beta?

[Red_Fat_Lazy_Cat]

Red Cats (only green flavor so far) for Firefox 4 is almost ready. I have yet to iron out a few minor bugs but overall, it's pretty usable. So if anyone is willing to give it a try, PM me or contact me by email.

[triponmoon]

thanks for your reply, i am looking forward to it

[Red_Fat_Lazy_Cat]

It took much longer than expected but the first pre-release version of new Cats has finally seen the light of day - give it a try:

Download Red Cats (green flavor) v5.5 RC1 - compatible with Firefox 3.6 - 4.0b11pre

[GNTMN]

I dl'd it I'll give it a run through & let you know how it works.

[Baset]

Thank you for giving a link for the Firefox 4 version, but the "download now" button just goes back to the main Red Cats (green flavor) page. Sorry to pester you, but I'm missing my cats . Firefox just doesn't look right without them!

[Red_Fat_Lazy_Cat]

The final version of Red Cats - compatible with Firefox 3.6 - 4.2a1pre - is here at long last. You can install it from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... en-flavor/ or read the changelog.

@Baset: The above link should work for you.

EDIT: The theme has already been approved.

[Baset]

Thank you. The cats are happily back in place .

Donwloaded and installed Red Cats (Green) - but only "cat" icon is 'fwd/back'. Am missing the line up on main page. What am i doing wrong?
Using FireFox 4.0

[Red_Fat_Lazy_Cat]

Did you restart the browser after installing the theme?
