Re: [gentoo-user] Re: FireFox Search Extentions don't work

Not as a regular user.  As I found out I had to run firefox as root, add 
the engines.  Then they are there.  It is a permissions problem with a 
directory in /usr/lib.

Klik in Firefox on the 'Add engines ...' button and choose the engine 
you want. If you then hover over the link to the engine you want, you 
see at the bottom left corner something like: 
"javascript:addEngine('wikipedia','png','Reference')".

Go to /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/searchplugins and su to root. Then punch 
in the command: wget 
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/plugins/wikipedia.{src,png}. 'wikipedia' is 
the first argument of the addEngine and the imagefile extension is the 
second argument of the addEngine.

Restart Firefox and the added engines should be there.

 I have firefox 1.0 installed.  When I go to the search bar and tell 
 it to install other extensions it says it did it succesfully but 
 they never show up.  Any ideas.

 Thanks.
