What I do: 1. Download the talkback zip. 2. Shut down Mozilla. 3. Rename the Mozilla folder in c:\Program Files\mozilla.org to 'Mozilla 2001121203' or whatever the build ID is. 4. Unzip the talkback zip into c:\Program Files\mozilla.org - it will show up there as a folder called 'bin'. 5. Rename 'bin' to 'Mozilla'. This way, all my previously set-up shortcuts point to the right place. 6. Copy (not move!) plugins from the previous build's plugins folder to the new one's plugins folder. It finds the old profile properly and works fine. Step 6 is so that I can use the previous build just as easily if I'm trying to work out if a particular bug is new. The last milestone I used was 0.9.4 - I just used the above process with that too. If in doubt, make a copy of your profile directory first. -- http://thingy.apana.org.au/~fun/ http://www.rocknerd.org/ "For the purposes of this discussion, we'll assume there exists a spherical gothband of uniform density which represents the Platonic ideal of 'goth'.
