Alcatraz XUL Package

contains a sidebar and beta-verion of a toolbar

Installation:

(maybe it is a good idea to print this side or to set a bookmark because you will have to close the browser during the installation)

    press the "install alcatraz" button


  1. restart mozilla (and you will find the new toolbar installed)
  2. enter chrome://alcatraz/content/sidebar/install.xul in the input field of the URL bar
  3. a dialog is asking you to install the Alcatraz-Sidebar, open the Sidebar (F9) and press the button

Beware : Due to the very early stage of the toolbar and the missing tools to easily remove it, the installation with toolbar is primarily for developers. If you still installed the toolbar-version and now want to get rid of it, you have to delete the lines in

[loacal_chrome]/overlayinfo/browser/content/overlays.rdf
and
[local_chrome]/overlayinfo/navigator/content/overlays.rdf
containing 'alcatraz_toolbar'. Then restart mozilla and pray that the toolbar has disappeared ...
