It does for plugins, but not for extensions.

Does > iceape still notice their presence? (Bug 402292 doesn't say either way.) Nope, it doesn't, but next version will get plugins from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins. Note mozilla/iceape doesnt have an extension manager so extensions need to register in directly in its chrome in the old fashion (putting files in /usr/share/iceape/chrome, adding stuff in /var/lib/iceape/*...) I still need to file bugs on packages still putting files in /usr/lib/mozilla/chrome... Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
