Extensions that *must* be installed by root are, afaik, global installations by default. But this may not have been one of them. Did you try installing it as a user and get an error saying that the extension couldn't be written to /usr/lib/wherever? If you get such an error, the extension must be installed by root (and is therefore global), because only root can write to /usr/lib/anywhere. If the extension installs as a user, then it's local, but it's quite possible that if you install it as root it will be global (since Firefox almost certainly searches /usr/lib/whatever/plugins for global plugins like flash and other media, prior to then searching ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile/plugins for local plugins). > that means that every user must install a language package; that's > strange! I don't think that's the case, did you actually check, or are you just assuming? Does the user (or root) have the locale installed? Did you install the locale switcher extension? Does it offer you to switch to the new locale from the 'Extras' menu? > But the question is yet here: why don't they do a link near to the > localized installer to language package? No idea. It is strange to have to trawl the Internet this way to find said language packs. > Thanks a lot, > Luigi -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
