Hi andrewtj,

Thanks for this great plugin! However I'm currently having some trouble to get it running. In Firefox 8.0 clicking on the dnssd button next to the address bar shows nothing, only an empty, tiny square.

I'm using Firefox 8.0 on a Debian unstable with avahi 0.6.30 on my laptop (installed are: avahi-autoipd, avahi-daemon, avahi-discover, avahi-dnsconfd, avahi-utils, libavahi-client3, libavahi-common-data, libavahi-common3, libavahi-compat-libdnssd1, libavahi-core7, libavahi-glib1, libavahi-qt3-1). And I've just installed dnssd for firefox, version 1.0.2. On the other host, the host which offers a service, only avahi-daemon and libavahi 0.6.30 are installed and is running OpenWRT (some more or less recent Backfire version). This host should offer a web server via http and https. For instance, cat /etc/avahi/services/https.service {1}

And doing a 'avahi-browse -a -r' on my laptop seems to show it {2}.

Any idea what I might be missing or what could be going wrong?

Cheers, T-X
