[SOLVED] Firefox 3 beta help!

[someonestolemyname]

As for uninstalling FF2 before installing FF3, I found no problems. I prefer to keep 2 around for the occasional site that has problems with the beta, or for extensions that don't work when installed in FF3.

I'm the writer of the blog post linked above. Also, for help installing incompatible extensions in FF3, try this post:

Glad you found use in my post!

Haha, yeah, thanks! You might want to note this on your blog though:

Seems that when you issue the sudo cp command, symbolic links aren't being copied properly (the symbolic links to the Sun Java plugin). I had to go into the folders and link them using ln -s -f manually.

Edit: Oooh, nice digg theme.

Odd. I didn't install Java before, and now I see what you're saying.

However, ln -s -f libjavaplugin.so /usr/lib/firefox3/plugins/ didn't work. Any ideas?

cd /usr/lib/firefox3/plugins

ln -s -f <wherever your libjavaplugin.so is> ./

You have to do it that way.

Nice. Thanks for that, I'll put it in the post. I was doing it from the FF2 plugins dir =/

Nice blog. Like the theme. Where did you get the hit counter from?

[someonestolemyname]

It's just a standard Wordpress-hosted blog right now. The theme is one of the options. I made the header myself.They give a huge page called Blog Stats that gives all kinds of stats. Links to the site, referrers, outgoing links clicked, views per article, what searches were used to find my blog, etc... And of course the all-time hit count!

1000+ in the last month, 1374 since i started it.

When I get the chance I'm going to set it up somewhere else so I can cutomize more and add other things. School taking too much time right now though.

I post mostly about Ubuntu, Firefox, and the internet. The occasionally life post happens.
