Is there a way to have it so that mozilla-firefox will startup and instead of just opening my homepage (archlinux.org :-D) it will also open other tabs with other sites already loaded, so as if I had 3 homepages?
thanks for the help in advance,
Mike

I found it out by accident, but just open all sites you want and use the "current site" button at the homepage options.

On the topic of firefox questions...
How do you add extensions using firefox? When I click on Get New Extensions in the Options panel, pick the extension that I want off of the site, it says it will install it. Then an error occurs saying that I have insufficent privaledges to write to /opt/mozilla-firefox/.... and I don't want to make /opt/mozilla-firefox world writable.
Is there a way to tell firefox to put the extensions in some folder in my home directory?

Usually I just press cancel if it asks to place it in /opt, and it installs in my profile , (tabbrowser extensions)

You want to install to your profile dir rather than the global dir, but there are a few extensions that do not have this option. Diggler is one like that. To get it to install you need to open the browser as root and then install it.
I should add that you can always install firefox locally to a user. I don't want to screw with the global install at work, so I have a ~/bin dir where I unpack the nightly firefox build. Just add ~/bin/firefox to your PATH and you are set to go. You don't get problems like this and firefox saves config settings between releases in ~/.phoenix/ (just recently changed to ~/.firefox for obvious reasons) so you dont have to reinstall all extensions if you use a new build. You do have to insall the ones (like diggler) installed to the ~/bin/firefox/... dir though.

I slaved for a long time on this one. Then I remembered that I had sudo installed.
I called
# sudo /opt/mozilla-firefox/bin/firefox
at the user prompt.
A word of warning, though, save your bookmarks, first -- because making this call and exiting later strips your bookmarks out! And you will need to import them back in again.
What the beep was that?
