It turns out this is some little quirk between Vista and Air, but it is fixable if you follow these steps:

Step 1:

Open Default Programs from the start menu.

Step 2:

Choose “Set Program Access and Computer Defaults”

Step 3:

Click Custom, then choose Mozilla Firefox (or whatever your default browser is) and click ok.

And now you are done :D

http://netusage.iau5.com/ – The broadband usage extension is open source, but doesn’t yet support my new ISP. I got the information that the developer would need to add it and thought I’d have a stab myself.

Patience wasn’t my friend this morning and I ended up giving up after about 2 hours of poking and editing, but not really knowing enough about it to be able to make it work. If you aren’t with Australis for your internet, it is a great extension! Hopefully the developer has more success than I did.
