So I've got a brand new linux install, it works perfectly. And I've got Firebird .7, brand new, works perfectly. I have themes and other extensions working just fine. the RSS Reader Panel and Download Statusbar are perfect.
So I go to install the very necessary Tabbrowser Extensions. Uh oh, big trouble.
First I installed them as root and chose to install it for all users, not just the root user. It installed just fine.
I restarted Firebird and went to change options in it. it worked, but the options didn't stick. I set tab with to be fixed at 100, but it keeps resetting to the default.
Okay, that's no good. I run Firebird as a non-root user. Tabbrowser extension is in the list. But if I click Options it hangs and I need to kill firebird.
What did I do wrong? Can it be fixed? I would really like to have tabbrowser extensions working in linux the same way I have them in windows. Thanks.

Try opening a terminal and enteringOf course you'll need to change the real path for /path/to.
Though I would like to add, what are you doing running a browser as root? Tut, tut. Firebird runs better without TBE in my opinion (I'm a former TBE addict in recovery). Good luck.
Code: Select all
su root
password
cd /path/to/MozillaFirebird
chmod -R 755 *

Thanks! I knew there was something I forgot. I was running the browser as root only to install the extensions for all users, I don't normally browse as root And yeah, Firebird might run faster and better without TBE, but is there some magic way to get TBE's functionality? I really need some of the options it gives me. Thanks again.
