[Conkeror] Installing foxmarks beta

[Nathan Huesken]

Hi,

I feel like I am causing a lot of confusen, sorry for that! I try to be clear:

I am trying to install the foxmark beta plugin, which is only available from the login area of foxmarks.
Downloading the old foxmark plugin via "s" key works, but for some reason downloading the new foxmark plugin (form the foxmark beta site) does not (I get the "call interactivly: TypeError: node is null" error).
For yhat reason, I do not know how to download the xpi localy :(.

So I got another idea: I open the foxmark bata site in firefox 3, logged in and clicked on the download button there.
It opens the install dialog, and also tells me the source for the plugin, it is:

http://beta.foxmarks.com/download?p=FIREFOX_3_BOOKMARK_SYNC

So in conkeror, I type "g" and input this url.
I get the install dialog! And can click on install.

conkeror downloads the file, but after that it gives this error:

Conkeror could not install file at
http://beta.foxmarks.com/download?p=FIREFOX_3_BOOKMARK_SYN
because: unexpected installation error
Review the Error Console log for more details.
-203

OK, that is where I am.
So conkeror should have downloaded the install (xpi?) file? I searched for an xpi file but found nothing.

Downloading http://beta.foxmarks.com/download?p=FIREFOX_3_BOOKMARK_SYNC with wget also just gave me an unusefull html page.

Ideas how I could get the xpi file?

Thanks!
Nathan
