How to Use
Once installed, you will be able to right-click on any page in Firefox and select "Monitor for Updates." The PUC options will open up and you can select how often you would like PUC to download the webpage and see if it has changed. Since many times you may not be interested in everything that changes in a particular page, you can select from various Checkers that customize how PUC decides whether a webpage has changed. To return to the options menu later, select "Tools" -> "Page Update Checker Options..."

Note about upgrading to PUC 0.3:
Firefox 1.5 will erase PUC 0.2's settings when you install PUC 0.3. If you would like PUC to remember your old pages, do the following before installing PUC 0.3 onto Firefox 1.5:
- If you've installed PUC 0.3 already but have not restarted Firefox, it's not too late
- Search your computer for pucconfig.xml
- Save a copy of this file to your desktop and keep track of where you found it
- Install PUC 0.3 and restart Firefox
- Copy the file back to where you found it. PUC will find this file and save your settings in a safer place
