The firebird script doesn't seem to be working right now (at least, not for me), so you may have to download the file from mozilla.org

Is there any particular reason that FireBird is sudo-ed? I've looked a bit, but maybe I'm not looking hard enough. I haven't yet tried to run it normally, as all my profile data is in root. It would be quite useful to be able to run as the user, because otherwise downloads get owned by root.

Thanks,
Sam

While on he CD Firebird needs to run as root to work -- it's an odd bug, I haven't tracked it down yet.  Once installed on the HD Firebird will run fine as user damnsmall.  In the HD install script I strip the sudo out so that it runs under damnsmall..

I see. The version I hd-installed was pre auto-FireBird-desktop-icon, and when I made the icon up myself I used sudo as I noticed it always happened when I ran it from the CD! I'll probably not change now, I'll just wait for a convenient time to download FireBird 0.7.

Thanks,
Sam
