I decided to try that mostly because the only pre-built versions were 32-bit, and AUR didn't have a build-from-source package, just as you noticed ;-) I also liked the idea of a FF extension on a matter of principles; why install XulRunner for Prism when I already have a perfectly working XulRunner for FF already? Anyway, I can report that the FF Prism Extension works equally well on a 32-bit Ubuntu system I have access to :-( The only system were it works as expected is a WinXP system I have here :-( I wonder if there's something in the FF build in Arch (and Ubuntu) that prevents it from working properly. I'll report more after I've tried the Mozilla build of FF. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus＠therning．org Jabber: magnus＠therning．org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
