Understood. I guess it will *not* work with Ubuntu ootb because it uses 
"gcj" (and not a Sun JRE) which AFAIK does include a Java plugin. GCJ is 
unsupported by FF anyway.

If that is what you do normally, then it's good enough.

Unfortunately, besides the two you have already seen, there are no other 
preferences right now. Everything else is JSword at defaults. FireBible 
is not aware of BD in anyway, only aware of JSword. I suggested a BD 
install because it already contains JSword and you can use BD to manage 
your modules, something FB is not currently capable of.


Thanks,
Brian.
