[OSM-talk] JOSM WMS plugin, Y!, and firefox 3

[Ludwig]

I think it is said somewhere (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/YWMS):

If you are using Firefox 3, as your main browser, YWMS will not work for
some reason. You must install a copy of Firefox 2, and use that instead.
However, if Firefox 3 is already running it will use that window instead. To
open both versions at the same time, use the -profile switch to open the
profile manager. "firefox-2 -P" should work for Linux.

If you set the path for firefox to the version 2 (which is usually still
there if you install FF3) it will open FF2 for the connection unless FF3 is
running. I tend to close FF3 when I use the plugin and then it works, albeit
sometimes only after the second try.
