The patch is a .diff for Firefox version 3. So I don't think I can do the above. I have downloaded the source, patched successfully with the .diff, but can't figure out how to build only the firefox portion of the source and get it installed to test. Instructions from Mozilla are very vague and assume that if you are attempting to build from source, you must already know what you are doing. Apparently they don't account for idiots like me :-) -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by the Cotter Technology Department, and is believed to be clean. -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
