he tabs addons or whatever get installed typically in you're /usr/local/mozilla or $WHEREVER_DISTRO's_RPM_INSTALLED_MOZILLA. Typically that's installed as root with root's permissions all over the provided files the .mozilla in you're home directory gives you the ability to overload you're own private settings and to have you're own environment even if there are other people using that computer each with his own mozilla environment addons and prefrences. I'm not sure how to install addons or firebird extenstion's on my mozilla because I too have seen that some of these extensions "want" to be written to /usr/local/mozilla so generally I simply add permissions for my user to write to /usr/local/mozilla and yes ... I know it's not totally secure but if somebody is totally paranoid he could probebly add a mozilla-users group associate his user to it and change the /usr/local/mozilla tree to be writeable to that group. I just chmod -R 777 the /usr/local/mozilla but I'm trying to break a record in security ill practices today :) - In system usage such as in life I'm also optimistic untill utter stupidity. regards - -- Lior Kesos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
