As we speak, a new version of Highlight is going through testing. This
version will address some outstanding issues, including Firefox 3
compatibility.
It's alive! The latest version of Highlight for the 'Fox is now available for download. You'll be prompted to upgrade by your existing version, or you can download from the link above if you're a first-timer. Please note that FF3 is not automatically placing add-ins into the toolbar. To get the Highlight icon in the toolbar, just click on View --> Toolbars --> Customize, and then drag the Highlight button up into the browser's toolbar. You'll be ready to blockquote like a champ!
Hi, I followed the instructions but I don't get an icon that looks like the one in the highlight instructions. Is it replaced by the paperclip one? Thanks.
The new Highlight icon is a grey version of the logo in the upper left of this page... FF3 isn't automatically placing it in the toolbar, so one must manually do so via the "view" menu.
If you're using firefox 3, you have to go into the toolbar options and drag the new NowPublic icon into your toolbar next to your home page/url area. You can get there just by right clicking next to the 'home' button and going into the options/customize.
I have had problems with a quirky address bar once I have installed the Highlight for Firefox. It seems to have affected pop-ups and print ability. When I uninstall the Highlight, everything goes back to normal with my computer again. Any hints as to what may be happening? This did not happen with my previous Highlight icon (the yellow one)

Hi again, sorry to be a pest, but I went to "view" and toolbar, customize. There is no logo that looks like that little eye there.

For me it shows up left of the address bar.

Thanks nagba, it doesn't show up at all for me. I'll wait until the updates are done and try, try again.
