I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit and my Firefox is stuck at version 3.6.6. Mozilla shows the current version is 3.6.12. What's going on? 3.6.6 is over four months old and has had several security flaws fixed.
View 4 RepliesWhich LXDE version of Linux has the newest version of Firefox and Open Office included?
I am looking for an iso file, and I am trying to run this off of a live CD for now. So I want a light version of Linux, probably LXDE, or if not, then probably XFCE. But I need a new version of Firefox and OpenOffice included.
Because, I tried burning the customizable NimbleX @ custom.nimblex.net . Pretty good, except it uses Firefox 2, and Open Office 2.3, which are outdated.
And I tried Mint XFCE, which might have been pretty good too, but it had some issue of blanking and requiring relogin after I opened hotmail frequently (user id: mint, password: blank).
The web browser and the word processing program are the most important and essential applications to me.
So are there any Linux versions in LXDE on LiveCD that include newer versions of Firefox (or at least another good browser) and Open Office (oo seems better than abi)? (Again, if no LXDE, perhaps XFCE?)
I just want to download a good version in an iso file, and burn it to a CD and get to work. Like I said the web browser and the word processing program are all important.
So really, what iso/LiveCD versions are the fastest for running on an older system, and yet have the newest browser and word processor included?
I am having trouble with setting up the grub based system on my external hdd. I am trying to have one grub which is going to load operating systems, and livecd if any (usb install). I am stuck at installing Ubuntu 10.10 Minimal version (i don't need gui for linux).Here is what I have done so far:
1. Created 2 primary partitions - windows 7 recovery and data (ntfs)
2. Created an extended partition for linux stuff.
3. Create a logic partition (10MB) for grub (ext2)

I mean would I need to logically seperate out a series of passive ports and then open them using my custom routers NAT, so each passive port goes to its own virtual host as such? Just a bit confused about what the next steps would entail I mean I don't have any firewall on my Linux box, don't see the point since I use pfSense and an IPS/IDS and it's never been hacked since!
How do the version numbers compare? Are they identical? I have Iceweasel 3.5.13, does that mean I essentially have Firefox 3.5.13?

View 6 Replies View RelatedMy laptop has developed an unusual issue. After I play a flash video in Firefox the last frame rendered in the video will be 'stuck' on the display even after Firefox is terminated. By stuck I mean that it is left as an artifact on the screen, where some, but not all other graphics overlap it.E.g. text in the terminal will get printed on top of the 'stuck' last video frame. This is not just a trivial problem as the stuck frame will not deteriorate as other graphics get printed on top of it, it gets repainted as if there were some process in the background that keeps refreshing it -- i.e. it does never go away, even though some other graphics are always displayed on top of it (such as text).
I have not recently made any modifications to the system such as graphics driver updates.I have tried to reinstall flash, I have tried to reinstall Firefox, I have tried to downgrade my graphics driver.I believe this issue might have something to do with hardware overlay, but I'm not sure.Some process has to tell X to repaint this graphic,I believe that perhaps it is the driver that is responsible for this as video is played by hardware overlay which is associated with the driver? This system is a standard x86 running Slackware 13.1.0 with Linux 2.6.38. It has an Nvidia 8600GT graphics card, I use the proprietary drivers from Nvidia and I have tried several versions, the problem persists.
YouTube now automatically serves html5 content if it detects you are using firefox version 40 or above. Unfortunately as a result, all youtube videos are now served to me at 360p resolution, and there is no way to change that on the youtube web page.
Before upgrading firefox, I could watch hd videos using flash. The ability to switch to html5 was also available on [URL] .... But with the later version of firefox, the option to switch back to using flash is no longer there on that page.
When I could view both flash and html5 videos (with the older firefox), I found that html5 played back very poorly. flash, despite being a known resource hog, actually played back better (with no h/w acceleration of flash in linux, I resigned myself to expect to use faster PCs to run flash hd at full screen). Which is a great pity, as we all know flash is disappearing, but it appears I now have an even bigger issue with html5. Where's the hd video?
So how can I get a better html5 experience? My machine is an i3 with GTS250 nVidia running Stretch.
The problem of only getting 360p resolution is probably a bug in firefox. Once I can get hd, I am then uncertain if firefox could handle it.
The advice of setting 'media.mediasource.enabled' in about:config to true to get higher resolutions did not work for me.
When I do that, the [URL] .... says I have:
HTMLVideoElement, WebM VP8 and Media source Extensions support, and
H.264, MSE & H.264 and MSE & WebM VP9 unsupported.
I have hardware acceleration enabled in firefox, and have the OpenH264 Video Codec (Cisco) plugin installed.
Some more info here: [URL] ....
I could switch back to using flash by using a user-agent switcher to fool youtube I have an older firefox, but that is a poor solution.

View 4 Replies View RelatedJust a reminder, Firefox 3.0 will reach End of Life status with the upcoming release of Firefox 3.0.19. This may concern you if you are still on Jaunty (like me). You may want to search the forum on how to add the repository for a current version of Firefox or Opera. Anybody who knows what Canonical will do in such a situation if a critical bug shows up after Firefox 3.0 will no longer be supported, but Jaunty still is supported?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI decided to see if I could update my Firefox install that comes with Crunchbang Linux (cut-down Ubuntu).
I followed the Mozilla instructions to the letter and the first thing I found was that I had missing files and or directories. With this in mind and thinking about it - I uninstalled my current Firefox with the Package manager.
I then followed the install instrcutions again but, this time telling the system where to find the .tar.bz2 file I donwloaded (version 3.6 from the mozilla site).
Everything appeared to extract and following the instructions for starting Firefox - I got version 3.0.17, exactly the same as I already had.
Howto update firefox to version 3.6.9 in F13?
command 'yum info firefox' shows only Firefox 3.6.7 is available.
I'm running OS 11.2x64, Kde 4.3, and Sun Java (latest 64-bit from the repos), and there is one chat room using the Parachat software ParaChat Site that I cannot access in the Linux version of Firefox 3.6. The chat room loads, starts, then locks up in less than a couple of minutes so tight at times I have to kill the process. (Java is usually running about 50% CPU at this point, and will shut down on its own.) I can access the Parachat software in Windows XP (32-bit), Firefox 3.6, and latest Windows Sun Java and it works fine. I've tried running Firefox with a blank ".mozilla" file, and with my normal profile, and this particular chat room is the only one that won't work. I can get into others just fine.
