Hrm - with moz I tend to go for a different approach and change the permissions on its plugins directory to make it owned and writtable by the staff group, which I tend to be in. Having said that, that was before I installed the blackdown java packages. Although, it does make it lots easier to install other plugins. Cheers, Brett
