Thanks for the report; I’m on it.  The install.rdf of Pentadactyl 1.0
has Fx/Iceweasel 14 as its maxVersion, but it seems like a simple bump
to 17 might work.  Or even > 17 if I apply the patch from upstream hg
that does away with E4X.  Packaging a current nightly also looks like an
alternative.

Cheers,
