[Newbies] Re: Squeak Firefox plugin on Linux

[Andrew Dabrowski]

So which deb package has the right npsqueak.so for firefox?  When I 
tried the file http://www.impara.de/~jens/ubuntu/squeakland_3.8-4u_all.deb
I got errors both installing and uninstalling (it said npssqueakregister 
was missing in both cases, I had to create a dummy file it could delete 
in order to uninstall it).  Maybe I can just get the file I need from 
http://www.impara.de/~jens/ubuntu/squeakland_3.8-4u.tar.gz?
