Hi *,
.
I am using Knoppix V4.0.2, which is packaged with:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050911 Firefox/1.0.6 (Debian package 1.0.6-5)
.
I am developing a site that uses Firefox/1.5 as normative browser, so I installed it (downloaded sources and run "make" to compile/install them) on an external drive. I then start it using the dot + fort-slash local indication to the Linux OS, like this:
.
sh-3.00# ./firefox -version
Mozilla Firefox 1.5, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2005 mozilla.org
.
Now, the thing is that I need to add on extensiones to the FF 1.5 installation and somehow the installation is not persistent. Each time you shutdown FF the addon disappears from "Tools > Extensions". You only find "DOM Inspector 1.8" and "Talkback 1.5".
.
If you go "Tools > Extensions" and click on "Get More Extensions" and select Html Validator 0.7.9:
.
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=249&application=firefox
.
then click on "Install Now"
.
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/extensions/html_validator/html_validator-0.7.9-fx+mz-windows.xpi
.
I can see "Html Validator 0.7.9" added to my extensiones after I:
1._ shutdown FF
2._ restarted via sh-3.00# ./firefox -version
to see that "Html Validator 0.7.9" is installed. When I go "Tools > Extensions".I still see it and when I go "View > Page Source": I see the three pane windows (instead of just one), but after booting up knoppix it all goes away.
.
How can you install addons to FF in an external drive, so that when you restart knoppix it is still there?
