Quake live on Firefox Linux

If you’re having trouble installing Quake Live on Firefox 4 in Linux, don’t fret, there is an easy fix. Download the QuakeLivePlugin_433.xpi. You can download it from the site or here. Once downloaded it open it with Archive Manager and edit the install.rdf. Replace the content in the file with the following:



   
      quakeliveplugin@idsoftware.com
      1.0.433
      
      
            
                  toolkit@mozilla.org
                  1.9
                  2.0.*
            
      
      QuakeLive.com Game Launcher
      Extension required for play on www.quakelive.com
      id Software, Inc.
      true
      
    

Save it and open it with Firefox, everything should go as planned. I can confirm it works and is malware\crapware free.

Happy fraggin.
