Readability 1.6 by Arc90, Baris Derin

READABILITY is a simple tool that makes reading on the Web more enjoyable by removing the clutter around what you are reading.

NOT! doesn't work any longer!! Used to work great. Why? Using Firefox V5.0

The download page indicates it is compatible with Firefox 5.

Unfortunately there's no support information on the download page, so I don't know where to refer you for help with that add-on. Each add-on developer is responsible for supporting what they create.

thanks - since no support I can't trouble shoot the problem so I give up. It was such a useful tool for me before but now doesn't work as indicated when I go thru steps to download it. doesn't seem to install at all.

I just installed Readability 1.6 to check it out for you. No problem installing it on WinXP Firefox 5.0 and it works for me. Have you tried right-click on the Add to Firefox button on the download page and use Save Link As... to save it to your computer (like the Desktop)? Then you can use File > Open File... or {Ctrl + O} in Firefox to do a "local install" of that extension.
