MDK's Mozilla

[TRN]

The download edition of MDK 9.1 was installed last night. Attempts to install the tab extension have failed. I keep getting permission denied.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I'll keep doing searches as well as try to figure out what is wrong. :cry:

You'll probably need to install the extension as root.
I've had the same problem. The only way to get around it is to install Mozilla as a user.

Tried the MandrakeUpdate to Mozilla 1.3.1 since there was a security advisory. This was installed in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3.1 as owned by root. Therefore, I changed the owner for mozilla 1.3.1 from root to my user name and this has allowed me to add the extensions. Unfortunately, for a default installation this should not have been an issue. It's hard to believe that others haven't said anything about this -- or have I been asleep on MDK forums?

Most distros seem to have this problem. At least SuSE has it too.

I personally haven't got any idea how this could be solved properly. Maybe RPMs should be made availlable instead of XPIs.
