My question basically pertains to running firefox from the repo vs running it from /opt. What I usually do is download firefox from mozilla ftp, extract, move to /opt, set symlink to plugins, and then edit /usr/shar/applications/firefox.destop, then save with new name.
after allowing update manager to find all updates and update all i am no longer able to VPN into my desktop at work for remote working via firefox.i have tried a few things from firefox perspective and getting no where.
I am new to Ubuntu. I have a Live USB running 12.04 LTS. I also still have Firefox version 12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 installed and want to upgrade to version 19.
I have searched a bit and my understanding is that Firefox updates are now part of the main system updates. When I run Update Manager I am told that everything is up to date.
I am currently re-setting up the apparmor profile for Firefox 19.0.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 and I am slightly confused.
I really don't know what happened to my Firefox browser. I was using it till yesterday but now it is not working(doesn't open up at all). I restarted my computer, re installed Firefox using yum and it went okay, but that also is making no difference.
I was just opened my Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala laptop and the update manager suddenly comes up and request to update my system. Then I just update that.
Trying to run Firefox from the command line with LightDM stopped. What I would like is to start Firefox and when I close it I return to the command line.
I can do this now by starting LightDM, logging in, opening Firefox, using Firefox, closing Firefox, and stopping LightDM.
I had a problem ever since I moved to Firefox 3.6 where if I installed the java plugin Firefox would just hang. I didn't matter if I installed the sun or the iced tea one, or whether I installed via yast or manually using the files from Sun.
Been searching for ages and have found plenty of forums with people who have this problem but no solution.
A couple of days back, we reported that Firefox 5.0 was available ahead of its scheduled release date in Mozilla’s FTP server. Well, today it has landed in the firefox-next PPA that Mozilla maintains for early adopters.
