[gentoo-user] mozilla firebird extensions
Hello! I'm wondering is it possible to install any extensions for firebird 0.6.1. The first thing I have tried is installing extension simply clicking xpi link in the browser. And it told me that I don't have permissions to do this. I have tried to do this via root (it's really not good) and it installed it correctly and I even can access it, but only while running firebird as root. More, after some experiments I have totally broked firebird (luckely, I have backuped /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird). Best regards, Andrew. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Yes, sometimes we want the plugins available to all - at least I do I don't know about Andrew.

I happen to be on a Windows box at the moment so I can't verify this... I recall that I was asked at install time whether I wanted to install the extension shared or not. I also recall a non-obvious response was required (Cancel?). Anyway, I know that I could not get the shared option to work with my existing users perms so I tried the other option and it worked (Tab Extension). John -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

open the browser as root, then install, then close, and change permissions on the plugin folder, really simple, and works for sure, i have done it plenty of time :-) On Mon, 2003-10-20 at 19:36, Andrew Kirilenko wrote: Hello!

Re: [gentoo-user] mozilla firebird extensions
make the /usr/lib/MozillaFirebird/chrome directory writable (su, chmod, ...), install all the extensions you want, then change the permissions on the directory back to the original (755 or something). yeah, effectively same as below. -chris Redeeman wrote: open the browser as root, then install, then close, and change permissions on the plugin folder, really simple, and works for sure, i have done it plenty of time :-) On Mon, 2003-10-20 at 19:36, Andrew Kirilenko wrote: Hello!
