Comment 44 for bug 263441

Thanks for the hint.
I tried it by pointing my existing app to the downloaded file, but it didn't
work at first.
I got some error about rights, though I couldn't find anything wrong with
the help of mc.
Then I removed the original 8.10 (0.7.10) Kompozer install, after saving my
'dot' directory.
Didn't work either and apparently was superfluous.
Then I decided to download again.
It now works all without problems (so far).
I restored my saved prefs.js, and now I can use my previous work directly.
So, thanks again.

OB
