That fork only contains an update of the install manifest. That version will not work properly although it can be installed.</p> <p>The reason for my delay is that the security model in FF 1.5 has been updated and it is now more difficult to access content in parent windows and frames (which Fangs relies on). Bear with me, I will try to find time to fix it!</p> Goetsu: Please note that the version you link to is an old version of Fangs. That fork only contains an update of the install manifest.

I just finished entering a comment on the Firefox extension page about Fangs. I'd really like to be able to use Fangs again to see what my site will look like on a small screen. I think I should make a donation through PayPal -- once the new version is out. :)</p> I’m happy to read that a new version of Fangs is coming out soon.
