User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060315 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Thunderbird version 1.5 (20060315)
If a user choose "Download more dictonaries" option in the mozilla spell checker this page is opened in the browser:
http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/dictionaries.html
However the dictonaries are not saved in the profile folder but in the components/myspell directory that is usually not writeable by non-privilegied users.
As a result by following the instructions from the site any non-privileged user is unable to install any dictonary.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download or drag'n'drop any of the dictonaries from http://www.mozilla.com/thunderbird/dictionaries.html
2. Choose install extension as a non-privilegied user
3. "Access denied" message box pops up without any file/pathname in the message.
Expected Results:
At least - better error message.
May be a way to install a dictonary by per-user basics (e.g. into the profile)?
I think that similar problems may be reproduceable on other OS-s.
