It is my understanding that with the newer versions of Thunderbird, you cannot globally install extensions. That is what most of my reading the *many* messages about this issue tells me. Something about the nsExtensionManager is broken pertaining to global installation of extensions. BLFS at this point is recommending to install extensions on an as-needed basis by each user who may use Thunderbird from a particular system. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 10:07:01 up 157 days, 9:40, 3 users, load average: 1.13, 0.82, 0.39 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
