So i have installed FireFox 4 Beta (..some reason its called Minefield 4.0 Browser??) on ubuntu 10.04 - now I have recently installed it onto my Windows machine about a week ago and I am inlove with it over Chrome, which is why I made the switch for my Ubuntu machine aswell - but I am wondering..
1) Why does it look like Firefox 3?? On windows its a completely new layout, design, and feel.. but on Ubuntu it looks and acts just like regular Firefox 3.
2) Whats with the name difference? When I pull up my browswer data online it says its Mozilla 5.0, but just dont understand?
3) Some javascript/jquery does not work anymore?
Is there something that I have done wrong, or installed the wrong package? I tried to download the file from firefox's website directly (a .tar.bz2 file) but could not figure out how to install it [i am an ubuntu newbie], so I went into terminal and installed it with the package manager with the following command(s):
i need to install firefox beta 4 , and since its in testing period i cant find it on my firefox updates till it realese so i download firefox beta 4 with extension .tar.bz2 which i cannot treat if there are a way to convert it to .deb which i can install (i search google 4 that problem and i see solutions by using alien and some other teqniche i just want an easy way i can do
How do i roll back firefox5beta to firefox4 and keep updating to the latest stable releases w/out upgrading to beta? The only extension that isn't working is FEBE which is incompatible w/ firefox5beta (profile, extension and preference backup). Have to use FEBE beta7 under Firefox4 so I don't think a compatible release for Firefox5beta is going to come out any time soon.
How do you install the Firefox 4 beta in Ubuntu? I'm still trying to understand how to install files that come downloaded in a .tar.bz2 type file. I unpacked this package, but don't understand what to do with it.
So far aside from the toolbar customizations not being stored in FF4.0b7, it all seems pretty darn good to me - that issue is even the latest Minefield build!
Is there anywhere that packages Firefox 4.0 betas to .debs that does not package them as "minefield"? I currently am using the beta 7 packages from natty, but I would like to grab beta 8.
I would like to start using Firefox 4.X beta and I read it was possible to install extensions such as Ad Block and No Script . What I would like is step by step instructions on how to add these currently non compatible extensions.
I just downloaded the Mozilla Firefox Beta 4 package which if of the extension .tar.bz2. I currently have Mozill Firefox 3.6 installed on my laptop. Can anyone guide me how to install Mozilla Firefox Beta 4?
I just tried upgrading to the Natty beta. I am having a problem logging in now. When I boot up I get to the GDM login window and try to log in. Then I get an error message that says: Failed to load session "ubuntu" And then I click log out and it just states me back to the login screen. There is no menu to select sessions or anything on the login screen, just the shutdown menu and the clock.
--Edit-- I fixed part of the problem and I can access my sessions now. I can log in using GnomeShell, but any of the other options result in "failed to load session 'ubuntu'" or "failed to load session 'gnome-classic'". I'm getting the feeling something is broken with Gnome, but I don't know what.
Is there a way to install 11.04 on a external USB drive. I tried the regular install but it will not let me pick the drive, it wants to install on my internal HD. I know I can use Startup disk Creator but It set it up like a install USB and it takes forever to boot up. Also if I use Unetbootin I won't be able to save files to the USB Drive.
If I went ahead and installed the Ubuntu 10.04 BETA version, would I be able to update it to the release version from within Ubuntu without having to boot from CD again (so just by the software updater)?
I switched a while ago from Gnucash to Homebank. The current version of Homebank is 4.04, but there is a new 4.1 Beta which provides several very welcomed new features. Since there appears it will take some time for the official Fedora repo to provide version 4.1 (I checked Koji already), I was wondering if anybody around here already made an rpm that would kindly share. I even tried the tar package provided by Homebank's website but wasn't successful installing it.
Tried installing using update-manager -d and received notification that my root does not have adequate space. Removed most of what I can and I am still short 560 mb or so. Even risking the removal of some questionable items I just don't see freeing up this much space to make it happen.Is there another way to install 10.04?Is there a way to increase the space allocation to root?Stupid question but, can I delete the image file for 2.6.31-20 without affecting the 2.6.31-20 version? Even if I can still not large enough to get to the 560 mb.
I currently have a HP Server DL580, with a cd rom drive
I don't have an an external dvd drive. I don't have a scusi dvd drive I don't have a pci card for ide or sata connections I have fedora core 14 installed on it (although so far have failed to get the internet to work on the server - but that is a separate issue and probably not worth fixing if I am going to change OS)I have downloaded the dvd, copied the iso to fedora - using a USB pen Mounted the dvd within fedora - but it seems it needs to run on boot I've tried installing the dvd onto a pen drive (ie bootable) - which works on my pc - but the server doesn't seem to like the idea of booting from USB.
I can get Redhat 6 enterprise server on cd. But it there is a simple work around I'd be greatful too.
I am regretably a complete rooky so please make any instructions very simple.
I know you are thinking why is a complete rooky trying to install a redhat server - the only answer to that is - why not - gotta learn sometime.
I got the dvd iso from: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/rhel...00000000000000
Ive installed fc11 on my laptop (IBM lenovo R400). My work has a proxy which we must go through. I have set the proxy addresses in System Settings->Network Settings-> proxy. I have also run export [URL].. All seems to be ok, yum works from the command line, konquer goes out to the net just fine. However firefox wont connect to the internet no matter. The only way at the moment is to manually set the proxy in firefox.This doesnt seem right? Surely FF should pick up the system proxy? Does anyone have any ideas about this one?
I am trying to use Skype beta on my acer aspire one with ubuntu 10.10. The video runs brilliantly and i can also here my wife from the other end but she cannot hear me. Apparently something is fishy with my mic input. I tried alsamixer and everything is in unmute. My alsa version is 1.0.23. The only think she hears is a loud hissing noise which is normally my bat voice but she doesnt need to know that. I can record my voice in the sound recorder but nothing comes out in Skype!
April 8th, 2010 - Beta 2 release; April 22nd, 2010 - Release Candidate; April 29th, 2010 - Final release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
If I have 10.04 beta 1, could I just continue to update and not have to burn another disk to install? Or do I have to burn the beta 2 and reinstall if I want it?
My update manager still says "updated 3 days ago" and no updates have come through today. Does anyone know if NBR has been automatically updated TODAY from Beta 1?
I'm currently running Ubuntu 8.10 on my system76 notebook as I was having problem after problem after upgrading. However, not having up to date software is a bit of a problem. How should I go about installing firefox 3.5 so I can have the most up to date version? Will I need to compile? Can I just install a .deb from karmic repos? Does the current version need removed first?
And there are several other pieces of software I want to stay current with, such as digiKam, but found it impossible because of dependency hell. Should I expect to be downloading tarballs and compiling any programs I want to upgrade past their stage in the 8.10 repos?
I want to user a new version of Firefox on my ubuntu 9.10 - 64bit installation. What I got is a 64-bit version of ubuntu and couldn't find a suitable new Firefox distribution.
In installing Firefox with sudo apt-get install firefox I don't get Firefox version 5. It seems odd that with Firefox being the main browser included with Ubuntu we don't get the greatest. What is the location of Firefox in Ubuntu, so I can install it with the tar command like on Slackware? Also, anyone know an operand to make tar overwrite files in Ubuntu so I don't have to rm them first, or is this just enhanced security?
I have ubuntu version 4.10 with Mozilla Firefox as a browser. I have downloaded Adobe Flash Player plugin but I do not know how to get the plugin installed. I can navigate through the terminal a little but still learning. I do not know how to save the (.tar.gz) download to the desktop so it can be unpackaged and then copied to the usr/lib/mozilla/plugins folder. I am hoping the same procedure to install this plugin will be the same for the rest of the browser plugins.
so I'm trying to run an extension for firefox that is no longer handled with firefox 4.0+. I've googled that you can run two different versions of firefox on the same system, but you have to have them set up as two different profiles. Basically having the two different browsers set up in two different locations running there own things from different files, etc.
How can I go about setting up an older version of firefox in a different location, instead of just running the setup in general which would conflict with my newer version?
I know it can be done, but a simple sudo apt-get install firefox (version x.x) will basically override my newer version I would imagine. I've already found where to get the older versions file and everything, I just don't want to mess up my new version
Can someone please help me as to how to install this in another location not affecting my current version? I also understand that I will have to have another command to run this older version, so maybe if you could shed some light on how to set up the new command also,
I have written 1 article to Install Firefox 4 Version on Fedora 13 and fedora 14 Linux. I have Successfully tested this trick on Fedora 14 and for RHEL 6 ( Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6) its coming soon. Before Following This trick i would like to tell you that, We�ll use Non-Standard Repository for this, Non-Standard means this repository is not from any official Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux. If you are sure and you want to perform this then Please take a back up of your all Mozilla Firefox�s Current Version, like BookMarks and all that stuff.
