328345 - Callendar installed on both firefox and mozilla

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 134432

(Calendar :: General, defect)

Description

[George R. Goffe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060124 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060124 Firefox/1.5.0.1

I installed firefox and calendar resulted in an apparently fully functional browser/calendar installation. I then installed mozilla and calendar, which appears to have worked and installed and is fuctioning successfully. Calendar and mozilla works great. Firefox and calendar now fails with the ICAL component regestry problem bug that has supposedly been fixed already.

The reason I installed both mozilla and firefox is to evaluate firefox vs mozilla. I like firefox better because I have trouble with mozilla using my own colors and some sites pulldown menus which appear to as text overlaid on text... Generally unreadable.

It looks like calendar gets installed in the same locations and as a result, some files get clobbered and/or overwritten by the mozilla calendar installation in my case.

Ideally I would like to see separate installation locations for the calendar so both can be used separately, possibly with some data sharing.

At this point I would like to remove the mozilla installation of calendar and get the firefox installation working again but am unable to determine how this might be done.

Thanks,

George...


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install firefox and then calendar
2.install mozilla and then calendar
3.use mozilla and calendar 
4.exit mozilla and calendar
5. try to use firefox and calendar

Actual Results:  
The popup relating to the ical component not being registered appears. This text is NOT selectible via mouse for the purpose of pasting into a browser AND SHOULD be in my opinion. (My caps are NOT shouting by the way).

Expected Results:  
I expected firefox and calendar to function as "advertised"

I believe that firefox should use a .firefox directory in a similar manor to the way .mozilla is used by mozilla.

Additionally, there appears to be no way to uninstall calendar from either firefox or mozilla... Other than whipeing out the whole of both installations and loosing data that would have to be re-created, in the process.

Please provide information what version of calender extension (experimental/stable) do you installed and where do you downloaded it. 
(iirc that should not happen if you used http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/calendar/xpi/windows/calendar_windows_latest.xpi .)

We do not accept bug reports for these old builds. Read http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/download.html#experimental_stable for explaination.

Re-opening, marking as dupe.

The basic gist of the link in the above comment - While it's a bug in the current stable version, it has been fixed in newer versions.

So what do I have to do to get a supported build of calendar so this problem can be resolved? Do I have to build calendar myself? Are you guys going to support me with this? The indication that support is not provided should be provided early in the download process. Or, did I miss something here?
