since i discovered forecastfox extension i've been trying and unable to

mozilla suite and seamonkey now but to no avail.  i can install it for
root if the browser is run by root but when i try to install it as a
regular user the installation is canceled sometime in the end (that is
the extension is downloaded, maybe installation begin and then a window
displays a message saying installation canceled).  this has been the
case since freebsd 5.3 or 5.4, now i'm running 6.1.

does someone know how to solve this pls ??
any other thoughts or suggestions pls ??



It's finicky about versions, but it certainly works fine with Firefox 1.5...

  


hello lowell,

i don't think this has anything to do with versions.
i have tried many versions of forecastfox from addons.mozilla.org on 
several 1.7.x versions of mozilla and i have tried it on the same 
versions of mozilla on freebsd and gentoo and winxp. it worked ok 
everytime and everywhere except on freebsd.
therefore i suspect there might be an issue in freebsd mozilla/seamonkey 
port or an issue in forecastfox that is run into on freebsd only.


what do you say? or am i missing something here?

many thanks,

martin

install it on freebsd.  i've tried many times different versions of
mozilla suite and seamonkey now but to no avail.  i can install it for

regular user the installation is canceled sometime in the end (that is
the extension is downloaded, maybe installation begin and then a window
displays a message saying installation canceled).  this has been the
case since freebsd 5.3 or 5.4, now i'm running 6.1.

does someone know how to solve this pls ??
