Introduction
The Tip.It MicroHelper is a Firefox extension that allows easy access to the vast quantities of data available on the site, encompassing the items database, bestiary, calculators and planners, the treasure trail coordinates map, and an easy highscore lookup. It works by adding an extra toolbar to the Runescape game window, which opens up small windows on the page that load up a "lightweight" version of certain areas of the site.
Confused? Let the pictures do the talking :)

Clicking the link above should popup a box similar to this:
If Firefox is already selected, click OK. If not, choose the "Save to Disk" option, and after the download has completed, Choose File -> Open File, navigate to where you saved the extension, and open it.
If you've done that correctly, you should see a screen like the one below. Click install.
From the screen below, restart Firefox, and you're good to go!

Troubleshooting
The problems (and their solutions) that have been reported thus far are:
Menu's act "weird" (i.e. Loading the wrong content, showing "false" in place of content): To fix this, click outside of the Runescape game window and press Ctrl+F5, this will force reload the page and all of the menus. If that fails, navigate to Tools -> Clear Private Data -> Untick all checkboxes except for cache, and click the button. Then force reload the page again with Ctrl+F5.
