Help - Multiplying UR extension buttons in Firefox

[Drew1278]

I recently upgraded from UR3.0 to UR3.1. When I started Firefox (2.0.0.4) I saw the two UR extension buttons (link and import). After a reboot and restoration of a firefox session I saw that the two buttons had now become four (two link and two import). Later on after a third reboot the buttons had again multiplied. I now have three pairs of UR add-on buttons... I tried uninstalling the extension within firefox which did remove all the buttons, but upon reinstalling the UR extension I again had three pairs of the buttons. Any thoughts on why this is happening and how to revert back to the single pair of buttons? Could it be related to restoring a firefox session after a reboot? Thanks for any advice! -Drew

When Firefox is started for the first time with the Ultra Recall extension installed, it attempts to add the toolbar buttons, then registers that this action has been completed as a user preference (to prevent later automatic recreation of the buttons).

Apparently this boolean user preference value is not being written for some unknown reason. You can manually create this value with the following steps:
1) start Firefox
2) navigate to about:config (no space, not sure why that displays on this forum post)
3) navigate in the list to ensure that an entry with the name of extensions.urextension.firstrun does not exist (this is what should be created, with a value of true)
4) right-click on an existing value, then add a new boolean value
5) give it the name above, then assign a value of true

To remove the extraneous buttons, in Firefox on the menu, click View | Toolbars | Customize, then drag the extra buttons off of the Toolbar back to the Toolbar palette.

An additional check will be added to the Firefox/Thunderbird extensions to prevent this from occurring even when this user preference value isn't/can't be written to disk...

Thanks! This worked brilliantly.
