Strange how virus for open source software is hitting the Linux versions first !
According to kaspersky labs, it's a variation of year's old linux virus Virus.Linux.RST.a (this time it's .b version). There's nothing new with this virus except that it was found on public mozilla's servers.

Feyd, I have installed all the extensions except those in whom you mentioned to be modified. How and exactly what to modify can you tell me :?
I also installed 1-clickWeather but it didn't work for me. each time its config window opened and sends proc usage thru the roof :x it couldn't even complete the configuration :(

I hear of a virus on Linux, hmmm.... so the penguin caught the cold too, ehh :)

an .xpi is a zip file. So unpack it, edit the file install.rdf (text file). Inside toward the bottom, you'll find something like this

Code: Select all

<em:minVersion>1.0</em:minVersion>
				<em:maxVersion>1.4</em:maxVersion>
Alter maxVersion to 1.4 for Firefox 1.5 Beta 1. Additionally, I alter this

Code: Select all

<em:version>1.1.1</em:version>
which is the version displayed in Firefox. I add a .0.1 or something very small just in case an update query will want to "fix" my version but not override a real update which will likely add support for the browser. :)

I've always figured it's bound to happen sooner or later.
