How avoid FFoxes inteference
I think that a lot of linux users have tested recetly published FireFox version 3. It is cute little tool and ubelievably fast. I spent more than 4 hours trying. These two versions try to share $HOME/.mozilla directory. But it somehow crashes when ever you install incompatible plugins, such us google toolbar or google gears.
What could be the solution for it. Simply move it somewhere else... but it depends on HOME and home is not easy to change and not to break any other program. Way out? Change it as close to the real binary as possible... it is in /usr/lib/firefox/run-firefox.sh, at the end when the program binary is started simply put this HOME=$HOME/.ff2
On Ubuntu 8.04 it simply works... Just useful hint, don't forget to link ~/.beagle to ~/.ff2/.beagle
