squeak plugin in ff 2/3

Hey,

I'm trying to get Epaati to work in the browser, on the XO eventually,
and I'm running into two problems:

- In ff3 beta 5 on Linux (Ubuntu 8.04) I can't seem to get ff to
recognise the squeak plugin. Has anybody got experience with ff3 and
the plugin, good or bad?
My setup mirrors the requirements for a ff2 plugin configuration. When
running npsqueakrun squeak will launch a session. I tested both the
npsqueak.so from a pretty new sugar-jbuild as well as a version which
works with ff2 (I know there were problems with the standard squeak
plugin from squeakland not registering with ff properly (which last
time I checked (about 3 weeks/a month ago) still was the plugin
available for download. Should perhaps be updated?)).

- In ff2 I can load our activities from a server, but only if the .pr
file isn't to big. If it is of moderate size or more, I'm getting
space-low warnings followed by a crash on project load. Would anybody
happen to know why this is happening? Is there perhaps some memory
variable that's easily adjustable?

Thanks,
/Ties

Re: squeak plugin in ff 2/3

To answer my own questions,
first of all, running the squeak installer puts the plugin in
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, which doesn't get picked up, on my setup in
any case. putting the plugin in tilde/.mozilla/plugins does register
with ff3. As for the space low message, this is fixed by adjusting
(taking away) the -mmap startup option in npsqueakrun.

Does Ubuntu have a designated location for browser plugins?

As I understand ff2 plugins should go into /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
and ff3 plugins should go into /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins.

The convention is to put files like plugins in /usr/lib/≤app>/plugins/. But 
that is just that - a convention and that can change with time and across 
distros. 64-bit systems use /usr/lib64/≤app>/plugins. Upstream installers 
like npsqueakregister should take in a list of paths for placing links to 
squeak plugin. This allows distro packagers or sysadmins to override them 
(with say /opt/≤app>/plugins) without having to patch scripts.

I can make a patch for npsqueakregister if there is any interest.

If no path list is given, 
globbing /usr/{local/lib,lib}/{firefox,mozilla,netscape}/plugins is a safe 
bet.

Did I ever answer this? Sure, send the patch.

fyi, on Gentoo the plugins dir is /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins :)
