Is it safe to put my old .mozilla and .mozilla-thunderbird folders from xandros 4.2 into OSS 11.3? I have apps, emails, and settings that I would like to keep. This might seem like an over precautious question, but I've broken Xandros more than once. I would hate to do it to OSS.
View 2 RepliesI have been doing periodic net-based dist upgrade since 7.10. Currently I use 9.10. Now that 10.04 is out, I want to upgrade to the latest LTS version by doing a clean install, instead of using net-based dist-upgrade.
Since I use Firefox, and Thunderbird, I want to keep the passwords/bookmarks I have stored in firefox, and mail/account settings (for multiple email accounts) that are in Thunderbird.
While I know I can copy the hidden profile directories for each, and back them up for recovery after the upgrade by copying them into the new 10.04 after install is complete, I don't know if this is recommended, prudent, or if pitfalls await me. Since I want to do a clean install, and, since 10.04 uses different versions of both Thunderbird and Firefox,
1. Would it be prudent to back up/use the existing profiles I have in 9.10, or should I bite the bullet and just start fresh with new profile setups when I finish installing 10.04? 2. Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of if I will be restoring a profile of each from 9.10?
3. Or, should I continue to do net-based dist-upgrades to 10.04 so appropriate profile changes can be made by the new versions of Thunderbird/Firefox software?
I have Thunderbird 3.0.6 from openSUSE-11.2-Update repo. Where can I get it updated to 3.1?

View 8 Replies View Relatedi have ubuntu 10.04 installed and i haven't touched anything apparently relevant in its configuration. many times, when an application opens a new window and this should receive focus, it doesn't. for example, i'm in mozilla thunderbird and i click on "write" to write a new message, and i keep waiting, "why does it take so much to open???" - until i realised that the new message window was immediately opened but it didn't get focus, it is just blinking (in a barely pereivable way) in the panel on the bottom and i have to click on it to give it focus. it is not just thunderbird - just about any program, but not always. sometimes the same happens when switching some flash player web application to fullscreen mode (such as videos or megavideo): the full screen does not appear, i have to click on the icon on the panel on the bottom.
sometimes, even more weired behaviour are observed. for example, let's suppose i have windows a, b and c open and none of them is minimized. i'll call "icon" a window's button on the bottom panel. i click alternatively on icons of windows a, b, c, a, b, c and so on. expected: every time i click on a window's icon, the window should get focus and be brought to the front. observed: when i get to window a, it toggles its state from open to minimized and viceversa, that is, when i switch from c to a, it does as if i was already on a, so instead of bringing it to front, it minimizes it; then next time i come back to a, it gets restored.
"requires installation of untrusted packages" roadblock in updating Ubuntu10.10, I downloaded and installed 10.04 LTS, hoping it would be reasonably hassle free. I've used it prior to my 10.10 upgrade, so I was very surprised to learn it doesn't support Mozilla Thunderbird email client, which I've been using on every Ubuntu version since I started with the 9.0x series.
Does any body know how to get around this? According to the Software center, Thunderbird is available for installation, but the install fails saying (no surprises!!) "Requires installation of untrusted packages"
I'm running Mozilla Firefox 3.6.17. Can someone tell me the easiest way to upgrade to a newer version? When I search on Google, I get ;lots & lots of pages & they give me 20-different instructions on how to do it & i'm confused. Not sure which command to use (There is no "upgrade" option in the "tools" area of Firefox.) Do we upgrade in the command-line?

[URL]
I see that each release of Ubuntu has only one supported version of Thunderbird - in case of Lucid Lynx it is 3.0 series. Is it possible for me to upgrade to 3.1 on Lucid Lynx through this official channel? I don't want the other two solutions to achieve this:
1. Download the latest Thunderbird directly from Mozilla website (No. Updating it manually for the next release is a pain and I don't want to get into it)
2. Upgrade to Maverick (No. I prefer LTS releases and want to stick to Lucid)
I have done some searches and none of them tell me how to recover or where/what the file name is for the Mozilla passwords. I was able to recover the bookmarks. orrupted my system doing the 9.4 to 9.10 upgrade and I am trying to rebuild the user one piece at a time.I also need to know how can i recover my mail from Thunderbird. Basically I have set up a new user and am trying to move stuff over from the old user one piece at at time until I can figure out how to fix the old user.

Recently I installed Firefox 3.6 on my SuSE 11.0 system. In order to do that I had to uninstall Firefox 3.0 and install 3.6 from scratch from the mozilla repository. In order to upgrade Firefox I had to change xulrunner packages to satisfy dependencies. As soon as I did that, my Zend Studio started quitting with this message:
/usr/local/Zend/ZendStudio-7.1.1/jre/bin/java: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.1.7/libxul.so: undefined symbol: gdk_x11_window_get_drawable_impl In YaST I have these xulrunner packages:
xulrunner191 1.9.1.7-78.2-x86_64
mozilla-xulrunner191-gnomevfs 1.9.1.7-2.4-x86_64
mozilla-xulrunner192 1.9.2.0-2.1-x86_64
mozilla-xulrunner192-gnome 1.9.2.0-2.1-x86_64.
I am far from knowledgeable about the microscopic details of my system. I found a post here from someone who had this problem with Firefox itself. He added the Gnome factory repo and updated to gtk2 to 2.18 from there, but I'm on KDE I didn't want to rush in and do that without seeking more expert advice. Does anyone have an idea how I can regain libxul.so: gdk_x11_window_get_drawable_impl?
This may (or may not) duplicate yester64's post but I'm trying to learn html and I've been going crazy with the <basefont /> tag. KompoZer, Opera, and Firefox all ignore it. However, any <font /> tag I use works with no problems What's really maddening is that I copied the file to the windows side and IE works wonderfully with the same file although Firefox still ignores it! I keep windows around for One and only one program - tomtom. I would cry at mozilla except that the same problem is occuring in those other non-mozilla programs.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed OpenSUSE 11.3 yesterday. When I begin to use Mozilla Firefox (version automatically installed with OpenSUSE 11.3) the cursor freezes or locks up (when I move the mouse/cursor-pointer), and the only way I can do anything is turn off the computer and start over (to no avail, because it does the same thing within a a minute or so after entering Mozilla Firefox. I did not have this problem with OpenSUSE 11.2.
View 9 Replies View RelatedToday I did the Seamonkey 2.1 update. I found out that some of the add-ons or extensions did not work. They were disabled, due to incompatible versions. I found out a simple solution. I hope this helps some. This helped me with the Webdeveloper, fxif and Novell Moonlight extensions. In the file install.rdf is an element called MaxVersion. Change this to 2.1.* and the extensions work again.
The file install.rdf is to be found in ~/.mozilla/seamonkey/user-thingies.default/extensions/{extensioncode}
The changed code for Moonlight looks like this:
Code:
<Description>
<em:id>{92650c4d-4b8e-4d2a-b7eb-24ecf4f6b63a}</em:id>
<em:minVersion>2.0b1</em:minVersion>
<em:maxVersion>2.1.*</em:maxVersion>

Good luck if you are a Seamonkey user.
I tried to add another repository to yast (Index of /repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2) and when I was done, Yast gave me an error message and now no repositories show up.
The error is: "/etc/zypp/repos.d/_mozilla_openSUSE_11.2.repo:Line 2 is missing '=' sign"
How do I fix this? How do I get my repos back? I took a look in that directory and this is what is in it:
Code:
[_mozilla/openSUSE_11.2
]
name= mozilla/openSUSE_11.2
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.2
path=/
type=rpm-md
keeppackages=0
openSuSE gurus, after several weeks I've finally managed to get aMule to listen external calls from Mozilla browsers. To make it quick: In Seamonkey or FF do about:config and add
Code:
Key: network.protocol-handler.external.ed2k
Tyoe: boolean
Value: true
Key: network.protocol-handler.expose.ed2k
Type: boolean
Value: false
[Code]...
Since yesterday, I cant use firefox anymore. When I launch it, It appears half a second and close. I tried to remove it in yast, then install again. No result.
