Firefox 3.6.4

Yes, it is. I'm sure firefox was closed. Anyway, I will do some tests and update my extension.

Thanks.

yea give it another try... let know how it goes.

also try command

which firefox

that'll give you the full path of the command that would be executed if you call 'firefox'.

I didn't need to test. I'm using a compiled version of Firefox and it is located at /usr/local/bin. It works indeed.

cool. must have had an open window of firefox hiding on one of the desktops that one time when it didn't work...

i bet the default version was already opened somewhere, so running it just opened a new window. make sure to completely quit firefox before trying that again?

basically, look at output of:

echo $PATH

if /usr/local/bin is first in line, then the firefox in /usr/local/bin WILL take precedence over /usr/bin.

It only works if I start firefox from terminal. The launchers are still launching the default version. The launchers are the default ones, with a firefox %u command, not a path.

I'm trying to implement a divertion removal in my extension, but I can't rely on the user being able to start it only via terminal.

I installed Ubuntuzilla again today, just to see if it is detected and it does create a diversion:

Adding `diversion of /usr/bin/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu by firefox-mozilla-build'

What should I do?

Local diversions (what used to be done by the script) are different from package diversions (what is being done now)... so it should be fine.

What is the difference? I'm using this:

sudo dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu --rename /usr/bin/firefox

Then, symlinking the new firefox from /opt:

sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox

I never had any problems with updates.
