Hi Jared, I don’t know if I did something wrong but for some reason I could not install it with the nightly on my machine. It stated something about not being able to modify the addon.
If I were to file a bug on it, where should I file it to?
Hmm… I haven’t heard of that issue yet. Please file it here, https://github.com/msujaws/Cheevos/issues, and I will try to figure out what went wrong. Can you try installing it again?

I have installed the latest version (1.3), and the “about:cheevos” page is not working in FF13-beta.
Weird. It works fine for me on Firefox 15 and worked fine for me on Firefox 13. Do you have any other addons installed?
You are right. I have investigated the issue, and it seem that the addon: Personal Menu does disrupt the work of your addon. I hope that you can fix that.If you need additional information, I’ll be glad to provide them.

Um.. .How do I get to the achievements page?
You should be able to click on the Cheevos button in your toolbar. You can also type about:cheevos in your location bar and hit Enter.
