If you still want a global solution, I think the best policy is to ask the user where you want to install the application (in this case it's configuration). This would probably take the form of a "initial state" of the application, and ask for the location to install it's resources (most likely c:\program files\company on windows and /usr/local/company on linux and anywhere on the mac).
Hope this helps!

It seems that typical Mozilla installation processes on linux do not set up
the chrome folder as writable... should this be done in the installer for
Linux?
There seems to also be a chrome registration failure occuring on Linux...
could this be permissions on installed-chrome.txt? (prefs saving does not
rule this option out, as prefs are elsewhere?)
Thanks! AE
