Not sure what your point was with that.... "No results were found for "status4evar"."

I;m a coding idiot....I'd have no idea what to do with that, I actually did find that when trying to research this. I'd like to track down the .xpi files for various elderly versions of firefox. I'll have to see if the .xpi's are in the user data directories on various systems where it's installed.

The good old Archive.org to the rescue:

http://web.archive.org/web/201206082...4.21.13-fx.xpi

If you know the original url of the extension, most probably the Archive has copies of it. YMMV

That worked for that version....but I needed some other versions, along with some other things that Mozilla apparently discontinued support for. I managed to find them all.

Win2k, XP, and other older MS OS's:
C:\Documents and Settings\someusername\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blah.default\extensions

Win Vista, 7, 8, and all newer:
C:\Users\someusername\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah.default\extensions

Some are named for what they are (s4e was), some aren't...but all end in .xpi. Copy them to your archive and name them whatever (I named them by version), and just do the manual install process through the add-on manager...and you're good to go. If you're not sure what it is, try to install it...it will tell you, then just cancel the install and rename the file accordingly.
