What if you go into the addons manager, go to the "Extensions" section, click RTSE's Options button, go to the Options window's "Extras" section, and hit the "Reset RTSE to initial configuration" button?
With Firefox not running, hit Windowskey+R, and type "firefox.exe -P" without the quotes and hit enter.
A little box should come up. Hit the "Create Profile" button. Type some name for the new profile (do not make it your default profile!) and then doubleclick the name you just typed from the list of profile names to start it.
I've just installed FF and RTSE (from replied post) on a new computer (Windows 7 x64), currently have the forum quick jump and extras tab enabled, and see neither, though some other RTSE functionality is present. This won't be a problem for me since I have no actual intent to use either of these features, but I can provide any other information that may help you diagnose this issue.
Besides importing bookmarks and passwords, this is a completely new profile on FF 11.0.
Man, I can't get RTSE to work in Google Chrome at all! Or Safari either! Or Internet Explorer! Or [insert browser here] that I love for some very specific reason that only makes sense to me! I demand that Wes either make Firefox suck less, or make a version of RTSE for other browsers. And make me a sammich.
See, this is a funny post because Wes is usually the one being a troll, and I'm usually super nice and stuff, but today is opposite day or something. No, I haven't been drinking. It's just really late here...
Jump list is working here though. Had to do a recent reinstall of firefox since I couldn't stand using google's botnet anymore. Everything is peachy. Using nightly over9000
Oh hey. Go into RTSE's options, go to the Site Preferences tab, and disable completely the "Displayed links" section. That's completely broken on the new site, and it breaks before those other features get a chance to run.
Beyond that, tonights update-that-won't-automatically-update will prevent those functions from even attempting to run, regardless of whether they are enabled in the preferences.
It'll have a big scary "this addon has not been reviewed" warning until the AMO people can do a review of the addon's code (currently 114 of 116 in the review queue, could be a while), but it's installable directly from that link.
Disable the old RTSE extension before you install this one, as the two are not complementary. (I should probably try to do some detection in the addon and have it warn the user about incompatibilities. Maybe in the next update.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New stuff: It's restartless! You can install/enable/disable/remove it without having to restart Firefox.
RTSE options are now inline! Go into the addon manager, to the extensions tab, and click RTSE Lite's "Options" button. All options display in-page. (Currently lacking good organization because the SDK's support for in-line options is pretty limited at the moment.)
Old stuff: Links to other RT domains get fixed to keep you where you are.
Watchlist items (in the forum) can be colored by context.
Site headers/sidebars can be hidden.
Changed stuff: The user info block link customization has been changed to user pane link customization. Lots of links can be added/removed from the userPane element in the site's header, as shown in the image in post 6646 up above.
Missing stuff: Advanced text editor: Not sure if this will ever be coming back. Not sure if the SDK platform can support what it needs to do now or anytime in the near future.
Add extra tab: Planned feature (there's a checkbox for it already in the inline options), just haven't figured out how it's going to be implemented quite yet.
Forum jump list: Planned feature, just need to figure out how to implement it.
Watchlist everywhere: Probably never coming back. The list in the site's header seems sufficient.
Blog/commentary redirects: Probably not coming back. The technical/political blogs seem to have fallen out of use on the site.
Hide homepage elements: Probably not coming back. The new site layout makes this a bit redundant (and the AJAXy way things are loaded on the homepage would make this a pain to implement).
Known issues: If you show/hide certain items in the userPane customization, some unnecessary "|" characters will show up in the userPane element. I wrote the code to add/hide the links in an easy way (for me the coder), but that way leaves those behind in certain instances. Should be fixed in a coming update where I do things the smarter way. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's currently 205 out of 205 in AMO's full-review queue, so it'll be a while before autoupdates get turned on.
This version adds initial support for the Forum Jump List. In RTSE-Lite's Options page, there's a textbox down at the very bottom where you can type in the forum IDs for the forums you want displayed in the list, separated by commas.
It's all manual for now due to the limited support for preferences currently in the Addon SDK. Hopefully upcoming releases of the SDK expand the capabilities a bit. There's no real error correction for the jumplist values you type in, so make sure you only type numbers and commas.
