I'm new to Debian and Linux. I downloaded the archive from mozilla for Forefox 4 and it was placed in the "Downloads" folder. I decompressed the file which created a Firefox folder with all the files. How do I get this in the package manager (Synaptic) so that everyone that uses this machine can use the browser? I can't figure out how to get it to install.
View 9 RepliesI've been using Epiphany web browser, and I really like it.But now I'm trying to fill out an online application and it says that my browser is not supported.It says that Firefox is ok, but I can't seem to install it. I just searched Firefox in Synaptic, but nothing relevant comes up. Is it a big deal to install firefox in debian?

What's the best method to install Firefox and Thunderbird in Debian 5.0.4?
For my desktop use, I wanted to keep my office suite and web browser updated while continuing to run Debian stable as my base. Here is how to install the latest Firefox and Libreoffice packages on Squeeze. Download Firefox 4 here. Then as root:
Code:
mv firefox*.tar.bz2 /opt
cd /opt
tar -xvjf firefox*.tar.bz2
ln -s /opt/firefox /usr/local/firefox4
ln -s /usr/local/firefox4/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox4
rm firefox*.tar.bz2
[Code].....
It will install Libreoffice in /opt and the packages will show up in Synaptic Package Manager under "Local". The installation automatically creates menu entries in Gnome for Libreoffice applications. I've had no problems thus far using the latest Libreoffice 3.2.2 and Firefox 4. Hope this is helpful for anyone else wanting to install.

Debian Squeeze 32bit. I uninstalled Iceweasel. I downloaded Firefox from their website. It is the complete folder and I have it in my /home/mydir/firefox. I have Flash installed just fine. The problem is java. I have sun-java6-jre installed but I am not sure what I need to link to the Firefox plugins folder to get java to work.

I've been using Iceweasel for 4-5 months now, since I installed Debian 6.0 testing.It worked fine and I had to use flashplugin-nonfree from the repositories in order to get flash working, nothing new here.In my last apt-get upgrade, something broke. Not sure if it is the flashplugin or Iceweasel.I tried changing flashplugins (trying the 32bit one, trying the new 64bit, trying another package I found) but every time I go on ..... and click on a video, Iceweasel crashes.The only output I got was "sesmentation fault".So I tried with firefox and Iceape and they worked fine.However the firefox downloaded was 32bit, so I downloaded the 3.6.12 source and compiled it (Forgot to mention i'm on amd64, but who isn't nowadays?).Flashplugin works fine with firefox 64bit, browser doesn't crash, but I keep getting:
(firefox-bin:25463): Gdk-WARNING **: XID collision, trouble ahead
Firefox 3.x is very slow to start and slow to run but I'm used to it and everything works. Haven't tried 4 yet, waiting for it to land in the Mint repo.Chromium is really fast but lacks RSS feed handling. I have to right-click on a feed, copy the address and paste it into Liferea. Chromium used to be crashy but has improved a lot. I am using Chromium from the testing repo until something better comes along.Midori has poor bookmark management but is otherwise OK. On a gtk system it is really fast loading. I used it for a couple months but recently switched to Chromium.
View 13 Replies View RelatedI dislike Iceweasel as it has older versions, so I installed Firefox 4.0.1 on my new install of Debian Sid. Downloaded the tar.bz2 package, unpacked it in opt, linked /usr/bin/firefox to /opt/firefox/firefox, figured out why it wasn't running (it needed ia32-libs-gtk), got it to run, and now it doesn't see the flash plugin.
My usual technique was to put firefox in opt, close it, then aptitude-install flashplugin-nonfree, which pulled the plugin and made it work with both Iceweasel and Firefox. But right now, only Iceweasel has the flash plugin installed.
I found libflashplayer.so in /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/; usually I'd try copying it in /opt/firefox/plugins, or ~/.mozilla/firefox/plugins, but neither of these directories exist. In fact, I can't seem to find a dedicated plugin directory anywhere firefox-related. What do I do?
After using Iceweasel/Firefox 4 on Squeeze for a while (an hour or two), the bookmark toolbar becomes unresponsive and sometimes the folders (I have some bookmark folders), when clicked, will open but as soon as I move the cursor to hover over the link (to select it) the menu disappears. I never had the problem with Iceweasel/Firefox 3x. The problem is fixed by restarting the browser but that is not always a good solution nor SHOULD it have to be done.

I'm using Firefox 4.0 b7, and tried to install Mozilla binary on Debian 64 bit. Since it was built for 32 bit (x86), I needed to install also ia32-libs-gtk package. This at least enabled Firefox to start, but still it has UI problems, because it accesses current theme binary from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/ which are obviously compiled for 64 bits. This causes some UI to be degraded to generic GTK. Is there a normal way to solve this?

I'm using Linux Mint Debian Edition. I see that the latest version of firefox is out and I would like to try it. Problem is, it probably wont show up in my package manager for a long, long time.
So I thought I would try to manually install it. I downloaded it and untar'ed the zip fie correctly. Then I copied over my old firefox directory with this one. Didn't work. The old firefox was still getting loaded up. I've done some research and it looks like i have to create a link. I don't know how to do this.
I mounted /home to the nfs serverand get this:this is really an important bug. How can it be fixed ?it occurs only for whoever is locking /home to the NFS server, whatever. I never saw such thing. Pitty that firefox is always buggy in testings or ubuntu, since many years
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn Iceweasel, WhatsApp does not properly work, because you can't download images. Oddly, that doesn't happen on Firefox, so I'm considering using it.
As Firefox is not in the repos, I downloaded the tar.bz2 file from Mozilla and uncompressed it at my home. What I don't know is, what will happen when a new version is released? It has the option to autoupdate enabled but... will it be able to do so without root privileges?
I have downloaded Firefox 45.0.1.
I put the unzipped contents into my home dir.
I ran fire fox 45.0.1 with no further action - without installing Firefox 45.0.1.
All that is needed to run Firefox 45.0.1 is in place from Ice weasel.
Question: Will there be any ill side-affects by using the files from Ice Weasel to run Firefox 45.0.1? Should I UN-install Ice Weasel and install Firefox 45.0.1?
One side-affect that I have observe is that I can not make Firefox my default. Every time I start Firefox 45.0.1, I get a pop up asking if I want to make this my default browser.
Is there something that has changed from Windows 10 to Windows 10.1?
So on my computers I have Linux/OSX + Windows
Typically I have housed the FF profile (and TB for that matter) on the NTFS partition. This has worked for many years and so no matter which OS I load, I start of at the same place I ended.
But since I installed Win 10.1, I don't use Windows that often, but when I do I feel that for some reason, FF is not picking up the profile info. Add-ons are missing. Session restore not the same. (There are similar issues with TB as well).
I,m trying to build firefox-3.6 from source but it ends with the following error :
Using Debian lenny.
Is that rather strange or am I missing something. Firefox is obviously open and connected.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running Testing and am wondering why didn't Firefox/Iceweasel hit this repo yet? I know that I can download it from another source but I prefer to follow the default repos. I'm not complaining, just asking where I can find more details about the delay and if some has an when it'll be pushed.
