Hi Chuck,
I’m new to FEBE, but I’ve been testing it out and quickly becoming a fan if you will. I think you’ve created a fine addition to FF.

Anyhow, I’m running FF 5.0 on Windows 7 Pro (x64) and have your latest FEBE 7.0 beta7 version installed. For the most part, all seems to be working well, but I have found what seems to be a couple bugs. Firstly, when I want to do a Quick Backup (Backup Utilities… --> FEBE --> Quick Backup, the “create single xpi” option does not work properly. It allows me to select the extensions/themes I want to backup, but then, when I click Backup Now it only creates a QBuTmp folder in my Backup Destination Directory with the selected items, but never generates the actual {filename}.xpi file. Initially, I thought I was simply doing something wrong (being new and all), but later, when I installed the FEBE 6.x on my old test system (running Vista with FF 3.6), everything worked as expected. So, it appears to be something odd in FEBE 7.0 .
As for the other bug, there seems to be an issue with global extensions – namely Java Console. When FF 4.0 was released, I believe that it included Java Console 6.0.25; but once upgraded to FF 5.0, it appears that these bits are removed and replaced with version 6.0.26 . In FEBE 7.0b7, I can use the Ignore List to bypass version 6.0.26 so that I don’t get an error message about not being able to back it up. However, since FF does not let you remove this particular extension and it does not appear in the list of extension/themes of the Ignore List, I always get an error for Java Console 6.0.25 when I do a backup. That in itself is not a big deal, but the problem is that because of this, any time a scheduled backup runs it requires user intervention to click OK and skip the extension when FEBE can’t find it.

That said, I don’t know if there’s an easy fix for this, but by all means, I just wanted to make you aware. In short, thanks once again for creating what is on its way to being a phenomenal extension!
