I tried to install it. TB's Tools->Add-On->Get Extensions shows this
banner:
Secure connection failed
An error occurred during a connection to
services.addons.mozilla.org.
Peer's Certificate has been revoked. (Error code:

Try again
But I was able to download it using FF and installed it on TB
But attaching a large file and clicking on Link on battom bar that
appears on TB
still does not list dropbox as an option to upload to.
I just attach a file normally. If it's over the size set in preferences,
then TB asks me if I want to send a link
