Turns out there is a further hiccough with the make -C

Keeping Firefox in your home folder solves the problem of running it
once as root as you have write permissions in your home folder. Also, if
it all goes wrong just delete it. You haven't installed anything system

Thanks for the explanation. I remember when I first had svg in

Yeah, support has been present in the codebase for a

I'd rather you didn't. I was embarrassed because I didn't test it properly before I sent it. It worked with an existing profile but if I deleted my profile and did it completely

There are plenty of workarounds, Andrew - DJ had a similar script

Well, the --disable-profilelocking didn't have any effect; FF still
complains that my profile is already in use when I click on a link in
email (Evolution) while FF is already open. When that didn't work I
also tried adding --enable-profilesharing, but it looks like that is
turned on by default.
