I've actually found that mozilla *does* download the xpi files, it just says that it isn't. PSM is a pretty big download (don't remember how long), and it takes a while to download. However, on recent nightlies of Mozilla (and much older versions, from memory), it displays the dialog saying something like `connecting to site' whilst it is actually downloading it. You can see the file if you look in /tmp. If you're patient, I've found that it will install eventually (go and have a coffee/tea/beer while you're waiting). FWIW, I just unzip the package as my username into /usr/local/mozilla, but I'm the only user on my system, so I can do that... cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches Criminologist/Linux Geek | As my head fell in the basket, http://killfilter.com | And was everybody dancing on the casket...
