This problem seems partially resolved on gutsy (firefox 2.0.0.4+2-0ubuntu1), although it's pretty hard to understand what's going on.
Installing the latest greasemonkey extension: $ firefox -install-global-extension /tmp/greasemonkey-0.7.20070523.0.xpi - this fails without any useful output (just the unrelated 'GSlice: g_thread_init()' warning) $ sudo firefox -install-global-extension /tmp/greasemonkey-0.7.20070523.0.xpi - this succeeds, but again without any useful output. -- 'firefox -install-global-extension "extension_location"' does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/79352 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
