Foxytunes fixage

I just upgraded Foxytunes to the latest version (2.2.5) and it broke again (it was broke when I first installed it). The solution is available if you dig through the forums but I thought I’d post it here for easier reference . It tries to look up the error on the FAQ of the Foxytunes site, but finds nothing, the thing it looks for is “failed-xpcom-install”. This must be a debian/iceweasel issue as I can’t imagine it’s broken for every linux user.

1. Find the dir the extension installed itself in, one way is to do
   find .mozilla/ -name "FoxyTunes.dll".
   In that dir, make sure that it’s using the linux version of the dll
   cp FoxyTunes.dll.linux FoxyTunes.dll
2. Now delete the following files from your profile dir, compreg.dat and xpti.dat.
3. Restart Iceweasel and Foxytunes should now work.
