rofl it is perfectly ok to ask questions in here. 3nodding
as for the format thing... did you add a name to the format you're creating?
(in my case though, it creates the format, but since the name is blank, it just makes it a bit hard to click on it when you want to delete it =/)
also, check if there are any stored formats in the formats tab on the gaiabar itself.. perhaps they did create when you pushed the create button, but firefox hanged and made you think otherwise? neutral
if none of that work, tell us here... and hopefully we can think of something else confused
