Known Issues

• The Reference Current Page in Firefox feature is not compatible with Firefox version 3. This is due to AppleScript support being removed from FireFox in version 3. This feature still works with FireFox version 2, and if AppleScript support is re-implemented in a future version of FireFox, we will work to add support for it.
