En/La Freddy Freeloader ha escrit, a 14/05/05 16:30: | Is anyone else running across the following problem? | | Ever since Firefox changed the install routine for themes and extensions | due to a vulnerability I've been unable to install any themes or | extensions as a regular user. I can install them if I su to root and | start Firefox from the bash shell or if I run Firefox as root, but then | any extensions or themes installed don't apply to my regular user | profile. I've tried playine around with copying the entire | .mozilla/firefox directory from /root and changing owner and group | permissions on it so my user account has access but that only creates a | non-usable browser so I have to uninstall and reinstall again. | What happens is that the install routines for extensions/themes begin as | normal but fail silently. I can find no errors in any logs, and the | extensions directory remains empty. I'm assuming this is because | something has changed in the Firefox is using file permissions since the | extensions are installed in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox and a regular user | doesn't have write permissions there. | I went to the Firefox support forums and one of the moderators told me | that this problem would be fixed in the 1.0.4 release so when the 1.0.4 | package was placed in unstable I installed it from there by downloading | the package and using dpkg to install it. (I am running Sarge.) | I'm getting no response worth mentioning from the Firefox people so I | thought I'd ask here if anyone else is seeing this too and what your | workaround was. | Hi Freddy, I'm running Sarge (2.6.8) and Firefox 1.0.4. I have the following extensions: Launchy, DictionarySearch, Linky and Adblock. AFAIK they all are installed in ~/.mozilla/firefox/default.mq3/extensions/ I always run Firefox as a normal user and never as root. I never touch /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox and so permission issues don't arise. Cheers, Jonathan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.5 (GNU/Linux)
