Mozilla Firebird (Extensions)

[Steve Peck]

Hi,

The port says this is where I should post any bugs, so here we go:-

I get some of the extensions for Firebird, in the extension list, to install just fine.
from http://texturizer.net/firebird/extensions/

However, the one I really want - StumbleUpon - just wont.
(http://www.stumbleupon.com)

It seems to think the file permissions are wrong (for the chrome dir?). But, IMHO, they're not!
Firstly beause other extensions install OK, 
and I'm not sure chmod -R o+rw is a particularly good idea.

Anyway,

install.log shows:

     stumbleupon toolbar (version 0.1.0)

     Install **FAILED** with error -239  --  10/04/2003 20:42:13


So, I get the old 239 Error. There was a whole bugfix (bug 109044) about this and a patch etc...!
Do you think thats got something to do with it?
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109044)

Oh, the FreeBSD Handbook, on browsers, says something about running Mozilla as root!
I tried this and GTK just complains about not being able to open the display.
The only way to do this is to run X as root, then open Mozilla. Is this right?

I've been searching around for a while now, but can't find anything else useful.
I've cvsup'd the ports and re-installed firebird, but it didn't do the trick.

But, I hope you know something that can help. So over to you then ;-)


Good Luck & Cheers
