User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4 Build Identifier: version 1.5 Beta 1 (20050908) This bug is an extension of bug 295393. Bug 295393 not only affects Linus, but also Windows XP and in fact I suspect it to affect all rights-management based OSs. A user can TRY to install additional dictionaries through the extension manager, but the extension does not install, because it needs to put files into the programs directory, which das restricted access rights. The extension manager does not display an error message. Only an administrator can successfully install the dictionaries. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. log on as unprivilleged user 2. install dictionary 3. try to activate the dictionary (it does not show up in the dictionary lists) Actual Results: no result whatsoever Expected Results: dictionary should be added This bug is an extension of bug 295393, but I could not change the OS specification of that bug, which is LINUX.
no, it's bug 267390 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 267390 ***
