Lookup Editor Issues

We are using 'Splunk App for Lookup File Editing' version 4.0.1.  There are two issues that bother me.  First is the continuous popup about 'Save Backup'.  I need a way of turning this off since most of the time my edits are of adhoc lookups and I don't want a backup.  Second is the can't save error message I get in Firefox.  I have to quit Firefox, restart, and then I can save.  After a number of adhoc lookups I get the error message again.  Any work arounds beyond restarting the browser?

I worked with Sahil Sharma of Technical Support on this.  The answer was to update the add-on from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2.  That fixed the problem.
