Just downloaded the Tab Mix extension for firefox. I really like it. You can pretty much control every aspect of a tab. Some of my favorite options are adding an X to every tab, open external sites in a tab, opening links meant to open in a new window in a new tab, and controlling which tab takes focus when one tab is closed. Highly reccomended my me.

I've been using it since it was released.

However, for the past few weeks, everytime I try to Update Extensions, Firefox has a problem contacting Tab Mix or their server is down.

The last release I got was 0.2.1, which doesn't sound too good.

Has it disappeared?
