fonts? Firefox doesn't seem to follow options set in Preferences. I uncheck pages can override and then set default to sans serif but pages still render in serif. about:config shows proper settings corresponding to my changes. Is your CSS overriding this in some way? Alc 01:50, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Workaround to share Browse plug-ins

If you enter about:plugins you'll find Firefox-6 in 8.2.0 doesn't use the installed Gnash and Totem plugins that Browse does (<trac>8593</trac>).

As a workaround, you can set MOZ_PLUGIN_PATH to the system plugins directory, /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins where these plugins are. One way to do this is start Terminal Activity and type the following:

 export MOZ_PLUGINS_DIR=/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins >> /home/olpc/.xsession

and press the Enter key. Then reboot, or just restart X using ctrl+alt+erase. -- Skierpage 10:37, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
