I did check, as the wget/unzip/grep part shows. The fact is... they filter by user agent on the xpi file... so you can just get http://dl.google.com/firefox/google-toolbar-linux.xpi, it's much better. But this xpi contains components, which are linked against libstdc++5, and built with gcc 3, which is not compatible with iceweasel (linked against libstdc++6 and built with gcc 4). That it works with upstream tarballs is normal, it's built with gcc 3 and linked against libstdc++5... It's always been like this and won't change. What did change though, is that version 2.0 now refuses to install extensions when they are not compatible. What you're doing by installing the google toolbar with upstream firefox 2.0 and running the same profile (yep, profiles are shared) with iceweasel works around the check, since obviously it's only done at install time. Not at startup time. If that's the bug you care about, then I'll retitle and reopen it. Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
