I have just acquired an eeepc. i know nothing about computers except how to download and install on windows. i need step by step directions for installing the up grade to the asus 900 pc. I have no problem downloading the upgrade but i am unable to install it.
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.
Downloaded the above file. Also downloaded and installed an update to my existing Firefox web browser, updating it from Version 2.0.0.7 to 2.0.0.11. As predicted, Firefox now has a new security and stability update labeled 3.6.9, which I will download at my earliest opportunity. Once that is done, I will try to install each upgrade as per the suggestions to date to upgrade my Mozilla Firefox web browser from version 2.0.0.11 to 3.6.9. My hardware: ASUS Eee PC 4G (701) My operating system: Linux - Debian Distro by Xandros
I would like a very basic instruction on how to update the firefox browser to the latest versio. I have downloaded firefox-5.0.1.tar.bz2to the desktop.
I recently upgraded (via Ubuntuzilla) to firefox 3.5.7 and now, every single time I close Firefox, the program seems to crash without quitting completely.
First, I receive an error saying that the program will not close and asks me if I want to Force Quite or Wait for it to close on its own. This has been happening ever since I upgraded to Karmic and if I just wait it usually quits fully after a couple seconds.
Now what happens is this: the window still closes, but if I try to reopen Firefox then I get this error stating that Firefox is already open and therefore cannot be opened again. The only way to get back into Firefox is to restart the entire computer. (Incidentally, this is the same problem that occurs whenever I try to Force Quit Firefox)
This now happens every single time I "close" Firefox.
Does anyone know the source of this error? Or a workaround?
I tried messing around with yast, but the farthest I could get was upgrading it from firefox 4 beta to firefox 4.1 or something (I just installed openSUSE 11.4). I was wondering if I'm missing something? I also clicked on yast, searched "firefox", then clicked "upgrade" but still nothing. Thanks and sorry if it's a dumb question.
I upgraded by Intel Core2 Duo system from Fedora 9 to Fedora 10.When I tried to launch the Firefox web browser, I would get the following error:Couldn't load XPCOM.I tried using YUMEX to uninstall and re-install Firefox. I was able to uninstall; when I try to re-install I get the following error:Error in Dependency ResolutionMissing Dependency: gecko-libs = 1.9.0.4 is needed by package firefox-3.0.4-1.fc10.i386 (fedora)What can be done that will allow Firefox to run on this system again?
I was curious if this is the standard behaviour... I had all my F12 system in spanish, including Firefox. But now after I upgraded to F13, Firefox switched to english (the rest of my system remains in spanish).So, is this supposed to happen or something went wrong? How could I fix it?

Just added another 4Gb to my previous 4Gb. (for no other reason than liking big numbers). And my browser, crashes consecutively, over and over and over again. My motherboards BIOS is up to date and it is able to handle 8Gb, but what is it's issue? Running Ubuntu 10.4 LTS with a virtual Win7 (that also will not boot now). All the updates for Linux are current as well.
i m using RedHat Linux 4.7 update 3 i need to upgrade firefox 3.0.1 to 3.5.19 firefox installed in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.1 i already tried too many methods but cant get it work also i downloaded firefox 3.5.19.tar.bz2
Right now I'm running Jaunty with Firefox 3.0. That's what it comes with. I tried adding FF3.6 using some instructions, adding the repository etc.. But, that was aimed at Karmic users and it triggured all sorts of dependency errors in Synaptic. So things got a bit screwed up. God knows what version I have installed now but it sure isn't 3.6! So tomorrow I plan to do a clean install of of Jaunty. Then I'd like to upgrade to Firefox 3.6. What is the correct and clean way of doing that, adding the correct repository this time? I want to replace 3.0 with 3.6 not have both versions on my system.
I just recently upgraded my Firefox browser from version 1.5 to 3.0.4. on Mandriva 2007 Powerpack. I had several problems with the installation, but I need some advice with this one problem.
With the new 3.0.4 installation when I press the "Clear Cache" button within Preferences, a cache does clear somewhere but I get no change of state on the "Clear Cache" button and a blank applet screen appears. If I go into the files to the .../home/scott/.mozilla/firefox/85if17gs.default/Cache folder, I find 54MB of cached files stored. I tried deleting the files through Konqueror and I get a screen saying "I can not delete the files"
I have my cache limited to 50 MB in the Preferences section. Where is the new cache folder ? Should I delete the entire Cache folder ? Will Firefox create a new one ? The /.mozilla/... directory was created with the Firefox 1.5 installation, I never checked to see if the directory had been revised with the upgrade to 3.0.4. Any ideas ?
This is probably a dumb question, but yum seems not to be upgrading Firefox. I have d/loaded the most recent release, untarred the zipfile, and stored it in /tmp. The untar created a directory "firefox", and I am now at a standstill. The README.txt is meaningless, and the run-mozilla.sh script - which looks like it might do something useful - simply issues: run-mozilla.sh cannot execute.
So, what is the Fedora endorsed way to upgrade a user program such as Firefox.
I have just upgraded to 9.10 and now my internet wont work. I am not very technical and need help please Firefox opens but the screen remains blank and firefox claims "done"
Did an upgrade today from 9.04 to 9.10. As far as I can tell, everything is working, with the exception of Firefox 3.5.6 with new install. I've attempted an uninstall and install. Tried the following with 3.5.6:URL...I finally found that if I use sudo (or gksudo) I can run firefox at the command prompt. Any other time I run it, it just shows an icon on the lower bar and then it disappears, but within the system monitor it shows Firefox and will show as many as you run the icon with.
I've deleted the entire .mozilla directory, and manually removed all the firefox info fro /usr/bin also before a reinstall. I assume it is either a strange permission issue or some link related issue."which firefox" shows:/usr/bin/firefox and the 3.5.6 files are located /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.6 . Any help would be great, I'm at a loss at this point. I'm sure it's something simple, but it's a royal PITA.I have nxserver on the machine, if that means anything and there was a session locally as well as one remote during the upgrade (using the same account).
I have upgraded my firefox to the Mozilla Build version 3.6 and following that, my liferea seems broken. It will no longer display previews of threads and I get error messages when trying to open links directly from it in Firefox. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling liferea to no avail
Just upgraded to 10.04 and Firefox will no longer start. I get the tab that says starting firefox, and then the tab disappears, and I never get a window.When I try to start via terminal it says (something along the lines of):Attempting to load libmoonloaderxpiSegmentation FaultI tried logging out and back in, no dice; restarted, no dice; uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, no dice.Running x64, if that matters, on a pretty decent laptop. I would describe my technical knowledge of Linux as moderate.
I just upgraded a laptop from an older version of Ubuntu to 10.04.1 LTS, which included an upgrade of firefox to ver. 3.6.9. Many pages in firefox now display only some of the text, although if I hilight where the text should be I get hilighted areas and if I copy and paste them into an editor the text shows up. Other pages display normally.
An example of this is [URL] where the "Welcome to the Ubuntu Forums ..." (un-logged in) paragraph is invisible although the off-white box which should contain this text is there. A few things I've tried and discovered:
* SeaMonkey doesn't have this problem (I'm using it to write this).
* If I un-check "Allow pages to choose their own fonts", the invisible text shows up with locally spec'd fonts. Specifying local font colors makes no difference.
* Switching users makes no difference.
* I've tried re-installing a large number of ttf fonts plus fontconfig, which makes no difference.
