No worries. MultiZilla should install without pain, or something really strange is going on.

No, not really. We're sort of forced to change QPrefs because of this bug. It seems to takes ages before this bug gets fixed in the Mozilla CVS tree. Also, we no longer need all browser spoofing menu items in QPrefs, because we now have something better, the new User Agent Manager (ctrl+shift+u).

Hmm, that's weird. Lets see what is going on.

Was this a profile or global (mozilla directory) installation?

You should open install.log (mozilla directory) and check if you see any installation errors. Note that you might need a new profile to install, because a lot has changed in both mozilla and MultiZilla, but you might only need it to get it installed).

Sorry, you first have to install MultiZilla and the next step is to follow this procedure: http://multizilla.mozdev.org/installation.html#forUpdatesOnly

Raj, we somehow lost the info about install.log. Did I remove that? Can you please add it back, thanks.
