Much better. Thanks.

The only other issues I have with conkerer-xr is various problems with
the download manager, eg:

* opening PDF files does not work; looking at
  modules/download-manager.js line 121, I think I can guess why.

* When downloading a file ("s <number>"), it opens the download
  manager and says "starting" even though it is already complete.

Probably the download manager needs more work.
