Yuck! Who needs all those extensions, I don't!

I ran 'firefox' as root from a terminal and the 'uninstall' button works!

Those extensions are for the language that Firefox will open. For example, in a French desktop environment, Firefox will 'speak' that language.

Hi
when I start 'firefox' as root from a terminal ' there was only one language. In fact a list of them.
I resolved it by removing those languages I definately don't need from /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.2/extensions.
And it works.
Thanks

Thanks! I started Firefox from a root terminal and then went to the extensions and uninstalled all the languages. This one was of those little, nagging things I just hadn't gotten around to doing.

So i can remove them if i don't need them ?

Yes, extensions are always safe to remove; there's nothing necessary in them. Lots of times, they are helpful and beneficial, but if there's an extension you don't feel you need, it's absolutely safe to get rid of.
