icon on the status bar.
What are the ways to open S3Fox?
There are 2 ways to open S3Fox:

on "S3Fox Organizer". It opens in a new tab. It has 2 panels which shows the local
computer files on left and remote files on right. You can upload/download multiple
files either way in 1-click.

Currently, S3Fox only allows file uploads/downloads upto 2GB.
Where is my account information saved?
Your credentials are saved in your local computer. When "Remember"
checkbox is checked in "Manage Account", the AccessId and Secret key are stored where
Firefox stores the Passwords. Sometimes when you "clear the passwords",
you might be asked to re-enter the password when you use S3Fox.

You can add any number of accounts by clicking on "Manage Accounts". You can simultaneously
upload to both of these accounts.
Why do I get "Error the difference between the request time and the current time is too large"?
You get this error when your Local system time is incorrect. Please check it. If you think
it is correct and still receiving the error message, please email me.

If you still want to uninstall, you can do so by clicking on "Tools" -> "Addons"
