Or, r we just gonna wait for the final release which isnt far away anyways ; by the way, on mozilla 's site, i only see i686 source code, im using opensuse 11.4 64bit,so wondering if there is a 64bit version
i prefer having it in the repository, but i can just build it myself
I absoultely cannot figure this out... No matter which browser (FireFox, FireFox4, Seamonkey, etc) I try to use, I always get this error message:
Replace "seamonkey" with whichever browser stated previously.
You can get the 64 bit version 270.41.19 of the nVIDIA proprietary Video Driver from this link:[URL]..
And the new video driver from nVIDIA no longer is outputting any error message when it is installed as was the case with 270.41.6. So, it is worth a try I do believe to go with the new version. I have a bash script that can be helpful in installing this driver if you would like to use it. Read about lnvhw from here: LNVHW - Load NVIDIA (driver the) Hard Way from runlevel 3
Although I use the system's default version of Firefox (v3.6), I wanted to give the Firefox4 beta a test drive, so I downloaded it from Mozilla and extracted it into my ~/bin directory. However it seems that Firefox4 is not able to pick-up the plugins installed for the system version. All the plugins currently installed for Firefox3.6 are in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, with a couple of symlinks to other places, so I can't figure out why the beta is not able to find them. I thought /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ was a standard directory for Firefox plugins on Linux.
I also tried copying one plugin (Flash) file from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ to ~/.mozilla/plugins/ and to ~/bin/firefox/plugins/, but still Firefox4 is not finding it. Aboutlugins is blank, as is the plugins tab of the Add-on manager.I'm using the same profile for both Firefox3.6 and Firefox4. Is this fine, or should I create a separate profile for use with the beta version?
P.S. For what it's worth, my system is a 64-bit one, running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10.

This used to work by default in previous versions of FF.

Open about:config and search for keyword.URL - it should be blank. Double-click to edit and enter
Code:
[URL] This will restore the previous Firefox keyword search behavior. No restart necessary.
For compatibility reasons, a developer do not always need the newest software version that just poped up on the market.
In my case, right now, the WebDriver Test our Selenium Test framework doesn't work on Firefox5 that i automatically got thanks the Ubuntu Update manager. I had to search few hours on Internet and finally ask a more experimented college which told me about this solution:
first of all, uninstall firefox5:
Code:
sudo aptitude purge firefox
then, you can list the available software versions : sudo apt-cache policy <software_name>
Code:
msauvette@msauvette:~$ sudo apt-cache policy firefox
firefox:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 4.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu3

I'm trying to use Debian Stable with some newer upstream packages. I've got the upstream Firefox tarball unbacked in /home/firefox/. The problem is that it can't find any plugins, flash or anything else. It's the 64 bit binary but still needed some 32 bit libraries to run. Does it need 32 bit plugins?
Iceweasel is uninstalled and and I deleted it's ./mozilla/ directory. I tried creating a /home/.mozilla/plugins/ directory and symlinking plugins into that and pretty much any other conceivable path where it could be looking for them.
I run upstream firefox from /home/ in the past and had no problems.
As you can see here Linux Dc++ 1.1.0 have just been uploaded: [url] for some reason i still have 1.0.3 but i use Maverick and there are no debs for Maverick as of now so i'll just wait for there release.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI've upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 a few days ago.Sometimes when I am typing on (USB) keyboard random key starts to repeat, as if I am holding it down (but I am not). Repetition stops when I press some other key. This is happening randomly. Sometimes 3 times in 5 minutes, sometimes once in 2 hours. I feel like it's load dependent (it occurs more often under higher load).Does anyone have idea how to get rid of it? It is really annoying.I have tried several keyboards to prove it is not hardware issue.

Is there a way to disable all popup notifications in openSUSE while still having it check for updates periodically. What I would like is for the notification icon to appear when an update is available but to not popup the notification message, or worse, show that dialog stating that some software sources were not available when I'm on the corporate network.
Also, is it possible to disable some updates like the recent KDE one? I right click it and there is an option to disable notification of an update but the menu item is disabled.
