Then the same should be done for the Livd CD user account i.e. the extension installed but "disabled". Extensions can be disabled using the firefox add-ons manager or by adding 'NS1:userDisabled="needs-disable"' to (the urn is the exact match)
I have no idea if the live CD has a full pre-set Firefox profile. If it has, that change in extensions.rdf sounds about right. If there is no profile created the addon could be added to %{_libdir}/firefox/blocklist.xml This list is overridden if there is an updated version provided by a Mozilla backend though but it should be effective for new created profiles.
On a related note, I checked in a fix upstream to not show the alert box but instead display the error in the tooltip of the beagle icon in the status bar. http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/beagle?rev=4762&view=rev Live-cd users might still complain about this but I feel this is a special case for live-cd users only; normal users should be notified if the .beagle is for some reason not found.
That also sounds like a feasible workaround, doesn't it? It's not quite nice but the above disabling looks more hackish. I'm not aware of any other way to tell Firefox to just ignore that addon if running under a special user. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
