Mozilla released Firefox 3.5 and you can now install it in Gloria. The package name is “firefox-3.5″.
To install this package, you can use Synaptic, mintMenu, mintInstall, or simply the terminal:
Currently Firefox is developing the new version of Firefox 3.7. When I write this article, the latest version is Firefox 3.7 Alpha 3. Here are some features included in this Alpha release:
Performance An experimental Direct2D rendering backend on Windows is available, turned off by default.
I am currently re-setting up the apparmor profile for Firefox 19.0.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 and I am slightly confused.
Well, that did not take long! Firefox 5 was officially released only yesterday and today the Ubuntu 11.04 repository has been updated with Firefox 5.Generally the major releases of Firefox (or any software for that matter) are not included in the main repository (except for than the LTS) and if they do gets included, it takes a lot of time.
Mozilla has been released the new version of Firefox 3.6.3 few days ago. If you are still using previous version instead of Firefox 3.6.3, it is recommended to update to 3.6.3 version for security reason. Now, you can customize your Firefox with many themes that you can download for free from Mozilla website.
Google's Gmail advises I am running an old version of Firefox (installed ver is 3.6.24), and I should upgrade to a new version of Firefox to ensure new Gmail features will work with my browser. I've downloaded firefox-12.0.tar.bx2 to my desktop, and uncompressed it with tar xvf.
In Windows I use, beside the main Firefox installation, one or even two "Firefox clones" for different purposes (specifically oriented addons and configurations, light configuration without addons, configuration for a different user, etc).
A clone of Firefox is a browser that is identical to Firefox except the name.
I keep getting this error:
Package: /var/cache/apt/archives/firefox_20.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.3_amd64.deb
Error: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop', which is also in package kubuntu-firefox-installer 12.04ubuntu1
I am only trying to install Firefox as a browser. Interestingly, it will not let me remove the "Firefox Installer" either. Any suggestions?
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.
