Brown Mouse: what happens when you try to start firefox? Does it start an older version of firefox (e.g. firefox 2.0.0.7, firepup)? If so, you'll probably have to deinstall that older version, that was my fix anyway.

I tried everything as well as uninstalling the older version first but it still doesn't work.
Thanks for the idea.

Did you restart puppy after installing firefox 3.5? They say that has to be done when installing a browser on puppy, dunno why though.

Does it do anything when you start it from terminal? Some text output?

Yes I tried a restart.I'm back to using 3.0.11 now which works but crashes.I never have had any luck with Firefox in Puppy 4..2.1 and I don't understand how to open it in a terminal?
I also use 'Gnome' with Firefox 3.5 and it runs a dream.

Have you run firefox from console (i.e type firefox from console) to see what happen with your firefox?

most likely the flash 9 plugin is in somewhere like /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and that one is being chosen first

Really tanks Mike!!! I copy the plugin from the seamonkey plugins into firefox plugin folder and now i finally have firefox 3,5 with flash 10 :D :D :D :D

Can anyone in this thread assist me with a broken link between my wireless app and all of my Internet-dependent apps?

I broke it trying to get my cellphone modem working.

I havn't tried but am guessing that the link to wired Internet is broken as well since wired & wireless share the same setup apps.

I started a thread for this -- I have something that I E-mail to a bunch of people every afternoon and it is already 6 hours late.

Firefox 3.5 installs and works great in both the latest Dpup 476e and Puppy 4.3 Beta w/ 2.6.25.16 kernel. Already updated both to 3.5.2.

Thanks again for the pet. :)

Nice work Wolf Pup...

This saves time for newbies to Puppy who are looking for an "executable" for Firefox...but I am on 4.2 and it does show quite a lot of dependencies.
So I prefer to just use the extracted files.

BTW I find Opera to be a tad faster than Firefox..but thats just me.

This is not a real problem...the firefox lib path is added at runtime but the puppy package manager cannot know this.

Neat..I still use it on my regular setup. It has the same html renderer as firefox 2 but a simpler interface and less frilly functions so is compliant enough for most uses.

Why am I always asked for a username and password to download something from this site? Is there another site I can go to to get 3.5?

usually any password on a puppy site is due to stop spam bots. We had very large issues in the past.
username:puppy
