Is this a proble of the plugin, a wrong permissions setting via emerge/ebuild or a problem of my Gentoo box? How can I fix it -- a downgrade to the previous version (34.0.5-r1) is not possible, since one had decided to remove that version from the ebuilds ??? Best regards, mcc Have you run firefox from a terminal? Sometimes it prints out extra lines that explain error messages better. If that doesn't help, I'd try removing the addon, restarting firefox, and installing it again.

If you can't get the plugin to work, you *can* downgrade, the ebuild is in the gentoo attic along with every other ebuild ever published in the tree :-) -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
