How many forum members does it take to change a light bulb?

One. apt-get change lightbulb.

To be run as root. Else use sudo.

And then:

$ sudo chmod +x /home/electricity.d/switches/lightbulb
$ sudo /home/electricity.d/switches/lightbulb start

Why not

sudo service light-bulb start

Can you get a light-bulb plugin for Firefox?

Firefox uses fire, not electricity.

you can get the plugin but you have to disable flash
unless, of course - you are into photography


floppy

Is that what the fans in a computer are for? To fan the flames? Why don't they blow the fire out? Ah well, that's another mystery to wrack my feeble senescent brain...

In Arch:

# pacman -S lightbulb
# /etc/rc.d/lightbulb start

For Fedora, RH, CentOS

yum install lightbulb
service lightbulb start

The fans allow a limited amount of oxygen through to keep the fire from spreading. Spreading fire burns up memory (also known as a memory leak, something FF is notorious for).

If you use any theme named Oxygen you could risk allowing the fire more fuel and damaging your PC.

Oh ****!!! I am using the Oxygen theme and the Air background/wallpaper! Better have a fire extinguisher handy. Thanks for the warning.
EDIT
Changed to the Black Glass theme, cuts down the glare from the flames.

Luckily for you, LQ is a technical forum and this type of technical problem is exactly what we are designed to cover.

OK, so Firefox uses fire. But what about Iceweasel?

Weasels, obviously.
