Ran Firefox 1.5 with klik, now cannot use 1.0.7 on desktop
Hi all,
This is my first post and firstly let me say "Klik is great". It's very impressive.
Unfortunately I seem to have struck a problem.
I'm using Fed Core 3. I have Firefox 1.0.7 installed (no 1.5 update available yet for it). I thought I'd try 1.5 with klik.
I'm now unable to use my 1.0.7 (I need it for remote access to work etc with some the plugins it uses). If I click on my toolbar icon, I get nothing. If I use the icon in the kde menu, firefox tries to run, but nothing happens.
When I used alt-f2 it tried to launch 1.5. So I deleted the .cmg file for the klik 1.5 version, but this has not helped.
I've tried reinstalling and this hasn't worked. If I try to use the firefox icon in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.7/firefox again I get no response...nothing happens.
As I need 1.0.7 for external access and some other elements, this is somewhat frustrating.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this please or redirect me to an already posted answer (I'm afraid I've been unable to locate one).
(it just occurred to me that when I ran 1.5 it told me that some of the extensions didn't work any more and asked me to update them - could this have affected the extensions in 1.0.7, as 1.5 read all the extensions and bookmarks from 1.0.7???)
I realise that there is always the possiblity of Firefox running in the background, but TOP doesn't show it running and when I start it using
./firefox -profilemanager
in /usr/lib/firefox blah blah/firefox
as root, I can start it but it doesn't have my plugins or bookmarks and I can only do this as root, not as a standard user - this merely gives me a 'no access permitted to directory' error message)
Any assistance would be most appreciated.
