Is anyone else having problems with the Firefox plugin ?
On the Mac (firefox 2.0.0.11 on Mac OS X 10.5.1) when you launch a report by clicking on the avantlink logo, there doesn’t appear to be any way to close the resulting window. I’ve tried clicking, resizing the window, command-clicking, hitting the escape key and a myriad of other arcane ways. So far, the only way to get rid of this window (which is modal, so I can’t click anywhere outside it in firefox) is quit firefox.
Any sugggestions ?

We’ve added a “Close” button to the report pop-up windows. Let us know if that solves your issue.
