Ubuntu :: Lucid - Who's Testing Firefox 4.0x Pre And Beta
Dec 10, 2010So 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!

View 3 RepliesWhat's the procedure for updating from Lucid Beta 2 to Lucid LTS? Is it just "apt-get upgrade"? Or would I be better off with a clean install?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow 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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am thinking about upgrading my home computer to the beta. Having been burned by Microsoft's RC program and reloading my kids computers, I wondering if I will be able to move to the final release when it comes out at the end of the month. If the upgrade path from Beta->LTS is a complete reinstall, I'll wait.

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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSo 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):
Code:
sudo apt-get remove firefox
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
[Code]....
now this might be more of a firefox question, but I am sure there are some Ubuntu users using the 4.0 beta w/ HTML5, WebGL and other new features
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.

View 12 Replies View RelatedIve 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?

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!
View 6 Replies View RelatedSo here's the schedule for 10.04:
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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust got Lucid and tried it off the cd before installation. The os sees the net OK, it downloaded updates without a problem, but firefox cannot see the net. Obviously I'm not going to install it until this works!I haven't found anyone else with the same problem in the forums, but the same problem exists on both my two different pcs.Under Karmic firefox works fine, but Opera 9.* had this problem, it could not see the internet no matter what I tried so I gave up trying to use it. Eventually Opera 10 came out and this worked fine. I'd prefer not to have to wait until mozilla fixes what ever this problem is in firefox 3.7, 4.0 or whenever!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently installed Lucid 32 bit on my PC and Firefox 3.6 is ridiculously slow. It's not just rendering pages, simply switching between static tabs (i.e. no pages loading) can take over five seconds sometimes. I have tried all of the fixes that have been suggested around the net relating to pipelining and IPV6 but these have had no noticeable effect (many others said the same but seemingly no resolution).
I would like to install Firefox 3.5 but cannot find a deb/repository. I would simply like to know the best way of installing this so that, if possible it picks up my existing preferences from my current version of Firefox and is recognised by apt so can receive updates etc... in the future which I can choose to apply if I wish. I cannot find out if my prefs and extensions will be picked up if I install via .bzr archive - will this be the case?

I changed the gnome font settings to make the fonts sharper, but firefox doesn't listen to gnome settings apparently, and the fonts are fuzzy on my screen. i found some methods to fixing it in 9.04, which i did and it worked, but i'm not finding any posts on how to fix this in 10.04. has anyone figured this out yet?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've just installed REKONQ 0.4.0 in my Ubuntu 10.04LTS and I am more than happy with it , firefox 3.6 crashed loads of times on mine (I have 3g mobile broadband) and had problems with rubbish download speeds.
What the hell happened at mozilla? Firefox was once my favorite browser but it isn't anymore, I hope Ubuntu 10.10 stick with Rekonq (once it reaches a stable version e.g 0.5.0). Has any one else experienced firefox crashing and slowdown? PS: To try Rekonq 0.4.0 just type the following into terminal:sudo apt-get install rekonq

View 3 Replies View RelatedProblem occurred after attempting to update firefox and configure evolution. Attempted to update firefox last night, it froze, attempted to open the system monitor to end the unresponsive process, and got a message saying the system was unable to support a new process because it couldn't fork. Did a forced reset, and the following now happens upon starting up. After selecting ubuntu (as it's a dual boot system with Windows XP) at the grub loader, blank screen, to this:
Code:
mount: mounting dev/disk/by-uuid/5b24d4b5-9b8d-4608-9387-0d92756dcdd8 on root
failed: invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: no such file or directory

It will not run recovery mode, and I have no bloody what it means by init=bootarg.
EDIT: Nevermind- I'm going to try the methods listed in [URL], and hope the gods of fsck smile upon my lowly hard drive.
I upgraded to Lucid a few days ago (from Karmic) and although everything went smoothly, I've been having this problem:Every now and then, when I'm on FireFox, the whole computer freezes and is unresponsive. The mouse doesn't work, I can't open the terminal, I can't do anything! My only option is to press the restart button on my laptop.I don't know if this is of any relevance, but I use UbuntuStudio, but have been using the proper Linux Kernel. I only selected the RealTime kernel if I'm working on audio editors, which I haven't done since updating to Lucid.y laptop is an HP pavilion zv5000. It has an ATI 9000/9100 graphics card, about 768 mp of ram, and a P4 3GHz processor.
