For the sake of testing I have just installed 0.41.1 on a windows  
laptop here, and I don't see any error after restarting Firefox.
I tried recording a search scenario on Google and it works. This was  
on Firefox 1.5.0.12 and then on Firefox 2.0.0.6 too.

That's too bad, the website was working this morning... hopefully the  
wiki and forum will be back running soon.

What version of Firefox are you using? Have you tried a different  
version of Firefox?
Maybe it is a conflict with another extension? Have your tried  
disabling all other extensions?

If you want to investigate further, a firefox plugin is just a zip  
file (xpi = zip) with a bunch of javascript files, xul layouts and  
images/css resources in it.
If you unzip recorder.xpi you can see the source of the plugin, but  
as far as I can see there is nothing wrong/different with the "Loop"  
button, defined in chrome/recorder/content/overlay.xul.
I have no idea why the plugin wouldn't load correctly on your  
Firefox, unless your installation of Firefox is somehow corrupted, or  
another extension is having side effects.

BTW, what do you mean with "warning at the bottom of the firefox"?
Do you have a screenshot?
I thought that by default such errors are hidden, and they only  
appear if you explictly open the Error Console using the Tools menu,  
or if you have installed an extension that supports debugging, such  
as WebDeveloper or Firebug.
Have you installed such an extension? Maybe it is a source of problems?
