You're comfortable with installing FF locally? When installed as root, but run as non-root, it will not automatically update the existing version. FF can be configured to not check automatically for updates. The GWT plugin can be installed on a non-root basis. If the above doesn't float your boat, consider using update-alternatives (http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/update-alternatives.8.html) to manage two versions: latest and a lagging development version. > GWT, besides being AWESOME, is a free product so I don't have a leg to > stand on to complain to Google.

There are several threads in this group discussing the issue. The gist is that the Chrome devs have to implement some features. > It is ironic that the gwt plugin for chrome, both Google products, is > the slowest combination. > > Thanks > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msg/google-web-toolkit/-/h5XPdl9EskcJ. > To post to this group, send email to google-web-toolkit@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > google-web-toolkit+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit?hl=en. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
