Hi NoOp
Thanks for your appreciated efforts and feedback !
Your instruction is quite good but has a little problem in sequence 1 &
2 !! ;-)
Download should be before UN-install !!! ;-))

Done already with no success. ;-(

Following your instructions was easy and went smooth. ;-D

Unfortunately after this I have TWO error messages:

Extension installation (Foxmarks) still fails with -203 
plus a new one telling something decreated with gecko !!??

Since this system got another problem too that I cannot sudo anymore:
I give up here and start from scratch again with the latest 8.04 LTS CD.

Will then do your instuction at the end and below the "OR" after
installing FF2 again.

Once again THANKS a LOT !!!
Cheers, svobi
