Firefox extensions installation [solved]

Hello,

 

When I was using Mozilla, I used to install extensions as root, so that those get installed system-wide (for all users).

Now I'm using Firefox. I installed a number of extensions as root, but instead of getting installed under /opt/firefox-1.0.1/, those got installed under ~root/.mozilla/firefox/!

 

Is there a way to "move" the installed extensions so that they are system-wide?

Or at least, is there a different for doing this, so that I can install the extensions system-wide? Maybe I should download the XPI files, but them, what command will install a XPI system-wide?

 

Thanks,

Yves.

I decide it is solved. I did not manage to install an XPI system-wide. However, now I do know how to install an XPI file once it is downloaded and available to all users: simply open it with the "Open file..." item in the menu!
