ubuntu lucid, firefox 3.6... but it seems the firefox 3.6 is not a complete 3.6 as its gecko is 3.0...; so whenever i want to install a update that is for ff >= 3.5, i always get, that this addon is not available for ff 3.0... my question:
1. is it normal that the ff 3.6 is running on gecko 3.0 on ubuntu? cuz in windows the ff 3.6 also has the 3.6 gecko
2. if so.. how can i update that gecko?
Im using firefox version 3.6.12 and it functions fine. However when i use the latest version of this addon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...11377/#reviews the screen goes grey and firefox crashes. Restarting firefox only results in more crashes. I had a older version of this addon-1.5 i believe that worked fine.

I followed the FoxTab instructions for using this page when I open a new tab and that works fine, and then (as instructed) changed my homepage to 'about:blank' but this only works when I click the homepage button.When I open a new Swiftfox session it doesn't come up with anything (just a blank page -
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit with Firefox 3.6.13 (from the repositories) and I can't seem to get the Firefox Sync AddOn installed.The addon can be found at:Whenever I try to install it, it comes up with a download error (see attached screenshot). I am running the same version of Ubuntu (albeit 32-bit) and Firefox on my laptop, and I can install it just fine on there. This leads me to think that this problem must have something to do with the 64-bit version.

Since moving from centos 5.6 to fedora 15 a week ago I have been unable to get Last Pass firefox addon to work correctly. Those of you familiar to last pass will probably have seen the error message before in a variety of situations, namely "An error occurred while attempting to contact the server. Please check your internet connection." This error appears as soon as you log in (which it does manage to do) but instantly loses authentication - seems like the cookie expires almost instantly and therefore all saved sites/passwords require re-authentication with LP to use.
No network configuration has altered since the OS change, but F15 comes with firefox 4 rather than 3.6.x in centos. I know the last pass plugin should work with FF4 and have read suggestions about SSL/TLS version settings (which are 3.0 and 1.0 respectively) and disabling SELinx. Neither of these have made any difference.
When I search addons with firefox, it takes 4 mins to connect to server, and after approving to ad it, it again takes that much time to connect to download. While downloading it's ok, but connecting to server takes time. This is for all addons. Is there any body having same issue?

I'm sorry if this is recurring subject, but I have searched the forum for such a subject and can't find one.I'm using Xubuntu 8.10, I'd like to update my programs to the latest releases, but the available updates in 8.10 versions are not the newest ones. I can't upgrade to a newer version of Ubuntu due to some known issues with older Intel drivers.
Is it possible to have the latest updates of packages while I still using 8.10 version?
No matter how many times I update or install new flash plugins in firefox, I always wind up with 2 versions of the 'Shockwave Flash' plugin. The first is the prevous version of Adobe, the second is the current version of either Adobe, Gnash or Swfdec. I use yum to keep my packages in synch. When a new version of Adobe comes though, it erases the older version of the currently installed plugin, keeps the newer currently installed version, and installs itself as the new version, both versions enabled.
Hope that paragraph makes sense to you, it gave me a headache to write. Further, they must both be enabled for any of them to work, and which ever I use the video is slow, choppy and prone to pausing for no apparent reason. The CPU usage is always pegged to the roof and the sound is often out of synch.
What I'm wondering is whether or not this is the normal situation or if I'm doing something wrong? I've been playing with Ubuntu and have noticed that only one version installs at one time, and the video playback is much better, if still not exactly smooth.
how to keep the scrollbars at the side and bottom of Firefox a contant width? They seem to change with the Full Zoom Level of NoSquint, which is a bit of a pain.
Old? They've been around for a while and I wonder if they're still relevant. The following:
Code:
network.http.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
network.http.proxy.pipelining

nglayout.initialpaint.delay
Still relevant with the recent versions of Firefox or a waste of time?
Today, I used the Update Manager to do my first post-installation update of Ubuntu 9.10. I have a multi-boot setup (Ubuntu / WinXP), using GRUB2. Before the update, I had 5 options:
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic (recovery mode)
Memory test (memtest86+)
Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)
[Code]...
Is it valid that the -14- has remained in the list? Surely I can only boot -20- now? How should I get rid of this version since it is added by update-grub because of the existence of this file: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic,Should I delete the file or just rename it? Or is there a better way?
When yum updates the kernel it keeps the last 3 versions; the older kernels are deleted. Is there a way to keep more than 3 versions?
I presently have one working version and two which are not compatible with my machine. One more bad version and my system will be toast. (I would like to keep the "bad" versions for testing.)
I checked my kernel version (uname -r) and see I'm on "2.6.34.8-0.2-default", and I noticed that they just released 2.6.39. I'm assuming (perhaps incorrectly) that there's been at least versions 2.6.35/6/7/8 released in there. Why isn't my openSUSE 11.3 using anything more recent than .34? How does this updating work? Is 11.4 on a more recent one?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI need to prevent that the latest kernel update removes the only kernel that still works in my computer. how can i do this? Currently I have 3 linux kernels versions:

But only the oldest works. With the new update there is a new kernel version (2.6.32-24) that possibly will not boot (like previous 2.6.32-* kernels) and also I expect that, as in previous updates, the oldest kernel will become inaccessible, thus rendering my ubuntu unbootable.

I have tried a lot of distributions, and have been using Ubuntu for the last year or so. However I would really like to use a good KDE4 distribution. I do have some stringent requirements though.
1- Easy and quick to get it up and going.
2- It needs to use pulse (or at least very easy to add it and get it working). I know a lot of people don't like pulse, but I can't do what I need to do without it.
3- it needs to have a large repository (like ubuntu, debian, or any major distribution). It also has to have a good package management system, again like ubuntu, debian, but not like slackware.
4- I would like it to be easy to update to new versions. I don't care if it is a rolling release or not, but I don't want to have to install it all over again each year.
5- I want it to be a stable system, not too cutting edge, but also not too old.
6- It would be nice if it had multimedia codecs, etc included like mint. But it is ok as long as it is not too difficult to get them installed later.

Recently I have installed Fedora 10. It comes with firefox 3.xx by default. Now I was wondering if there is any way through which i can update it to 3.5 version though yum. I have tried yum update firefox but it did not work and returns following messages Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit Setting up Update Process No Packages marked for Update I know that one way to update is download the latest Tar package and use it, but I want to totally remove my previous installation and use solely one package i.e. firefox 3.5.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm not to clear on the difference between LTS versions and other versions, but think I may want to go with LTS. Can someone tell me if my thinking is correct given the following situation: I have some very cool, but very expensive software installed with a group license from my school, a school which I am not going to be attending for too much longer. So I want to go as long as possible without reinstalling Ubuntu, because once the product is licensed it will be licensed until I reinstall Ubuntu (or I uninstall the program). So I think this is going to require me keep the Ubuntu version I install as long as possible.
So in this case, should I go with 10.04LTS or should I just install Natty Narwhal and keep that as long as possible? It looks like 10.04LTS will be "supported" longer, but I'm not exactly clear on all that "supported" entails. Presumable it means security and software updates will be available for 10.04LTS for much longer than 11.x versions? So I'm thinking I should go with 10.04LTS
Is my thinking correct in going with 10.04LTS? Edit: It was pointed out that this would be against my contractual agreements. Which I suppose is probably true.
How can I make the security applet stop showing an update for firefox 3.5.9? I have a more recent version installed from mozilla repo: firefox 3.6. The mozilla repo already has a higher priority (95 instead of 99), so I don't know what to do.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI really want to make the switch from Firefox to Opera as it is so much faster and more stable. But am having real trouble getting mplayer to work. I was wondering if anyone who has successfully managed to get mplayer plugin working in the Opera web browser. Iv been trying for a couple of days now and its getting repetitive. Iv tried following the instructions here: [URL] I think im having trouble with Gecko SDK, havnt been able to find a package thats ppc compatible (am running Karmic on an iBook G4). Though i found an RPM package that was and converted it with Alien, not sure if it actually worked though.
I have XULrunner 1.9.1 and mplayer installed. Im falling down on this step of the above linked tutorial: "Type ./configure --enable-x [--with-gecko-sdk={path}] where {path} is the path to the Gecko SDK" But have tried just running "./configure" and "make" from within the directory, without, of course, the desired effect. Also im not sure when it says "Locate the files mplayerplug-in*.{so,xpt}" what or where "mplayerplug-in*.{so,xpt}" is supposed to be.
First the issue is that when streaming long videos the playback would suddenly stop and I would need to restart playback manually and drag the progress bar to the correct position to resume playback. I think this is because buffering is not keeping up.
I would like to find a way to configure gnome-mplayer so that playback would just pause when buffer is running low and resumes as it grows, is that possible?
In order to do this I have been playing with the cache setting in gnome-mplayer.
Here are a few questions and observations.
1) In gnome-mplayer there are two cache settings, one go under the Preference > Mplayer tab, the other under Preference > Plugins. What is the difference?
2) I notice that if I set the plugin cache to be minimum then playback will not start until the 20% mark is reached, iit will take longer to start and the playback will last longer before buffer runs out. On the other hand if plugin cache is set to some large value then playback will start almost instantly (~ 1%) but also stops very quickly.
The question is 20% of what? I thought it means 20% of cache size so it should take longer to fill if the cache is set bigger, this seems to be the other way around.
3) With audio stream (say radio) it seems to be the opposite, if plugin cache is small then playback starts immediately, if it is big then it takes longer.
I would like to make sense of this and understand the logic behind it
P.S. Gnome-mplayer in Natty (as oppose to earlier versions) actually has too cache size options under Preference > Plugins but they don't seem to behave independently, for example, I set video cache to be large and audio cache to be small then according to 3) above (and the small audio cache) audio playback should start instantly but instead it takes a while so the size of the video cache has an effect even without video streaming.
