[nflug] Firefox and jre

[Joe]

That made a difference!  Now, just going to the test page blows Firefox 
out of the water.  I don't even have to click on the test button.

Bottom line:
Can someone tell me how to reinstall Tbird and ff "the right way" 
instead of in my user directory?  I would have done it that way to start 
with if I knew how to get them to work.

I almost had Tbird installed that way before, but the extension manager 
wouldn't work right because of permissions or something like that.
If I install them in root land, I still have to  know how to update them 
and their extensions/themes, etc. (and when they try to autoupdate and 
I'm running in user land, how would that work?)

I have a similar problem with OOo 2.x.  I knew exactly how to do it with 
1.x (the install -net option), then they completely changed the install 
procedure (and although it's still under /opt where it belongs, I never 
went back to figure out how to enable it for multiple users or if I have 
to do anything at all.)
