Running Firefox 21 As Spot Bug

[s243a]

There seems to a bug then prevents you from running firefox 21 as spot unless you change the permissions in the folder:

/root/.cache/.mozilla

so that spot can modify files in it.

chown -R spot /root/.cache/.mozilla

firefox should have the option to have a user specific cache, but it doesn't.

Unlikely to be firefox's bug. When running as spot, firefox should be accessing /root/spot/.cache/mozilla, not /root/.cache/mozilla. Which puppy version is this? You need to report it to the maintainer.

Ah, that's an old dog and the original developer (playdayz) has long retired although you may still see him around. Unfortunately I am not very familiar with precise pup. If you can figure out which script runs firefox as spot, all you need to do is add a statement "export XDG_CACHE_HOME=/root/spot/.cache" near the top of the script (before it exec firefox).
