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.

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.

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 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
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!

View 14 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!

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 14 Replies View RelatedNo matter which source I have for 11.2, be it CD download, Net download, or commercial DVD reprint, I get to a point in the install where I get error messages about not being able to download a repository....OR...on another machine I can install but the update applet, after installation, shows errors. When queried, it says it cannot find repositories.
On the second machine, I remove the update applet from the installation using yast and then go to zypper and zypper says it cannot find the repositories. Yet, Yast will show the repositories as being in existence.
Before installation the hard drive is wiped clean and is ready for any OS.
I've taken these same installation media to a friend, he has provided a clean drive, and the same problem occurs on his machine no matter which type of installation is tried. (We both use removeable drives - not USBs).
I try to take my errors and my usage out of the problem before I comment on an OS. But I am starting to believe that 11.2 isn't clean and the same but has been ported to 11.3.beta.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI was going to install the Beta for Ubuntu 11.04 using the command update-manager -d. Everything went fine accept the fact that I had maybe two other programs running the same time as the update wich made my computer performance get really high wich ended in overheating and that my computer (using a laptop, of course) shut off. When I started my laptop again it will not go any further than the Ubuntu start screen saying something like "The device / cannot be found or is not ready yet". Can I all my files although I haven't done any backup?
