firefox security patch install
Hi all,
recently installed firefox version 0.10 for mandrake from RPM. No problems there; when firefox started, it asked to apply a security patch for 0.10.1 The message also said that linux users need to run as root. so I did from an xterm su <passwd> firefox It installed the patch, and all is fine. However when I run firefox as a user, it still takes to me the update screen and somehow does not recognize that the patch has been applied. If I do su -c firefox, then all is fine, but I want to run the application, as a user, not as root. I have also installed firefox from the tgz in my home area. All is fine here, except that it does not see the plugins already installed in /usr/lib area. In addition, I have to manually create the shortcut, while RPM install does it for mr. My personal preference is to install from RPM as it automatically puts it in the K panel; all plug in paths work automatically w/o much hand holding any possible solutions for 1. why firefox run as user (either thru xterm, or shortcut) does not see the patch but run as root does? thx |
your might have 2 versions of the fox installed ?
use "type -p firefox" for each user to verify which program you call |
I had the same problem...just check out this quote for the fix.... :D

Also...Firefox may be installed in /usr/lib instead...or some other place (can't think of all the places...) |
Thanks chatterbug89,
the chmod644 was needed for bug*.js file, the nshelper*.js was already 644. Now firefox is fine in user mode also. regards |
Yeah...they should put something on the Mozilla site about this...it seems a lot of people are having this same problem :(
