Firefox Add-on mouseless browsing doesn't work

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Download Add on from
http://www.rudolf-noe.de/index.php?/content/view/14/26/ (at the bottom of
the page)
2. Install
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

the expected output are numbers /numeric characters next to every link.
Unfortunately it doesn't show numbers next to links at all. I did not get
any error prompt neither - it just doesn't work. Nevertheless, "mouseless
browsing" is listed within my Firefox add-ons and I can see a little Icon
down on the screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
system: MS Windows XP Prof

Latest Build: Version 0.5.3Build20090712 (I could not use the stable
version as it wasn't compatible with my Firefox version (0.5.3)

Please provide any additional information below.
