Re: [orca-list] Updating Mozilla Products

[Guy Schlosser <guyster bex net>]

Hey there Steve and Dave, in order to get the 'check for updates' menu 
option, both the thunderbird and firefox directories need write 
permissions across the board. (i.e. chmod 777 /opt/thunderbird && chmod 
777 /opt/firefox.) Replace /opt with the correct path to your 
thunderbird or firefox directories. I keep mine in /opt, since that's 
where the majority of my compiled software is installed. Any other 
questions, you can feel free to E-mail me.

Thanks,


Guy
