Description David Monniaux 2006-11-24 20:32:27 UTC 
Description of problem:
Dictionaries from mozilla.org cannot be used in thunderbird

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.5.0.8

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to mozilla.org and pick a .xpi dictionary
2. Try to install it
3.
  
Actual results:
Thunderbird claims to install the dictionary, lists it for a little moment in
the extension list during installation, then removes it from the list. It does
not appear in dictionary choices.

Expected results:
The installed dictionary should appear in dictionary choices.

Comment 1 John Cooper 2006-12-01 20:23:37 UTC 
Permissons on /usr/lib/thunderbird-1.5.0.8/components/myspell will not allow
non-root users to add to dictionaries.

Fixed by :-
# chmod 777 /usr/lib/thunderbird-1.5.0.8/components/myspell/
Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2007-01-05 15:05:30 UTC 
Can fully reproduce on Firefox on RHEL5b2. Maybe chmod 777 is too drastic. What
about chgrp mail + chmod 775?
