Hi,

how can I install addons for firefox 3.5.6 "system wide"
i.e., such that these are available to all users?

(AFAIK, the standard method installs them local to each user)

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

I think you are confusing add-ons with extensions.

I might be wrong, but in my understanding "add-on" is a generic term that
includes at least themes and extensions (if not even plugins). So I suppose
the OP meant "extensions" rather than add-ons.
