First off - I think nearly all of us owe a dept of thanks to Lincsat, Ronstar and the others who have been answering the same questions all day. Hats off fellas!

Now, any idea how to update the keymaster toolbar on firefox on a mac. the download is a .exe file and will not work on Apple OSX.

Cheers in advance

Keymaster uses the .Net Framework which is a Microsoft thingy. Fortunately there is an OS X implementation of it called "Mono". You need to download and install it:

http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/archi....universal.dmg

Once installed open a Terminal window (go to Applications/Utilities/Terminal, don't wish to patronise you, sorry). In the terminal window type "mono " (without the "") then drag the Keymaster.exe file to the terminal so that the line looks something like:

mono /Users/you/Desktop/KeyMaster.exe

Press return and Keymaster should run.
