Version 0.4a works well with my FF 2.0b1 and on my wife's 1.5.0.6. Keep up the good work!

There is an issue with the "show more" biography link, so it needs to be rewritten.
And why you published 0.3.1 for FFX2 instead of the already available 0.4.x?
Here those two changes in a NON-OFFICIAL version: http://dongato.dyndns.org/tmp/IMDb_Preview_0.4a2.xpi

Hey, some recommendations:
Everybody's got their own 2cents on the whole bit but here's mine:
You gotta first think _why_ ppl want this plugin
FOR ACTOR/ACTRESS:
I use it b/c I want to see the person's face and I want to know how I might know them.
I would definitely get rid of the "bio" field b/c you can't tell much about someone from the 2 lines available.
Birth Date and Birthplace are kind of useless but they are small so keeping them is no biggie.
All in all my ideal layout would be:
<a href="http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imdbactvers2ap8.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/8114/imdbactvers2ap8.th.png" border="0" alt="Image Uploaded by ImageShack Toolbar" title="Image Uploaded by ImageShack Toolbar"></a>
For reference, this is how your current layout looks in my made-up code (As you can probably tell I don't know jack about coding so I made up the fields)
<a href="http://img457.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imdbactvers1ap2.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://img457.imageshack.us/img457/8990/imdbactvers1ap2.th.png" border="0" alt="Image Uploaded by ImageShack Toolbar" title="Image Uploaded by ImageShack Toolbar"></a>
---------------------
NOTE: my vers reqs a few more pixels height-wise (b/c of reason above) but it's a pretty minor adjustment that can be avoided if you please by including a scrollbar (imo i wouldn't).
NOTE: hyperlinks of no apparent use can be annoying and mar the nice look you're trying to achieve
In my vers hyperlinks are only used for the movies and the "more pictures" link (I would like the pic to link too). Making a hyperlink to see what other actors/actresses were born on the same date is pretty useless and is definitely not needed since this is supposed to be a quick preview.
NOTE: Other users may disagree but I don't mind having a plain yellow bg as long as I still have a useful/functional/reliable plug-in
NOTE: It appears that you found a way around this problem but I'm just reminding you that you probably don't want a preview window to pop-up inside another preview menu..

I love your extension; Imdb is one of the most frequent sites that I use. I was wondering if there were anyway you could fix a problem I've been having. I found this extension in Popular Science called McAfee SiteAdvisor. It blocks sites that might have viruses. However the problem is that after I installed it, your imdb extension started not to work. This little...screen...pops up, but it is a stop sign with a white exclamation mark. The SiteAdvisor is not letting me see the pictures. I love your extension, but I have to have safety. Is there anyway I can have both? If it is too big of a project, I understand. I just thought I would ask.

Try the "non-official" 0.4a2 version about two posts above. That solved the problem for me, and a few others.
Good Luck!
