These last few days, whenever I open Writer in OOo 3.0 I see a download icon at the right of the menu bar and the following message (in my translation from the Swedish) : «Updates available for extensions Click here for more information.» Sucker that I am, I click on the icon, wherewith the following message appears : «OpenOffice.org could not find any web browser on your system. Check your operating system's settings or install a browser in the standard catalogue in which settings are made during installation.» This in 64-bit Ubuntu Hardy. I find the message somewhat surprising as no less than four browsers - Swiftweasel, Firefox, Chromium, and Opera are installed on this OS. A glance at Synaptic shows that the version of the «ooobasis3.0» packages I have installed is 3.0.0-9. If after clicking «OK» to remove the error message, I once again click on the download icon, OOo crashes, and then asks me if I want to restore the (empty) document on which I was working. If I attempt to do so, I am informed that the document cannot be restored, and am then asked if I want to send an error message to Sun. Apart from this, Writer seems to be working nominally on my box. Any thoughts ?...
