Nice script. bash:-) I make a directory for mozilla in my /home/username/moz I download the tar.gz to the moz folder and overwrite the last one I downloaded. and close mozilla. then I rename my old ~/moz/mozilla folder to the current date like ~/moz/mozilla1025 and extract the new mozilla.tar.gz (like this tar -zxvf mozilla.tar.gz ... or from my filemanager GMC, I just right click and select extract) and this leaves me a new ~/moz/mozilla folder. in my ~/moz folder I keep a folder with a copy of my plugins ~/moz/plugins. then I just select all plugins and copy back into ~/moz/mozilla/plugins. On Linux, Mozilla puts my mail/bookmarks/prefs.. in a folder at ~/.mozilla, I leave that one alone. It's really rare that I have to redo any settings but I still set all my popmail accounts to "leave messages on server" just in case I do have to dump my ~/.mozilla folder. A nice shell script to do this all for me wouldn't be too hard to do and might be something of value to the mozilla users out there. add-on stuff like most of the projects over at Mozdev.org, seem to get stored with the application and not with the user folder, I wonder if this can be set to put extra chrome and sidebar add-on stuff into the userfolder instead and if that would work. is the install location set by the application being added on or Mozilla itself. could the default install location be specified in prefs so the installer would put stuff in your prefs folder instead?
