Been away. Still have that Facebook chat problem keeping from using Firepup fulltime. I've tried having the chat in another tab, but everytime I switch away from it, chat logs out.
Is there any way to have two tabs active (visible) simultaneously in Firefox?

I never came across a situation like that, probably you could read up on making "User profiles" that way you could run 2 user accounts at once.

Puppy 4.1.2-retro,
FirePup-0.04.3.1 with FirePup Theme

Installation of FirePup killed the SeaMonkey browser and the SeaMonkey Composer html editor, together with the Help menu. I thought this had been fixed in earlier versions of FirePup.

Is this is FirePup bug or a Puppy 4.1.2-retro bug or a SeaMonkey bug?

Is there a fix?

Wasn't this fixed in an earlier release of Firepup?

Will the Seamonkeyfix.pet still fix this problem?

I tried fire-pup today and i like it..

inside a vm though it runs as fast as my opera9.64..
they both beat the pants off sea monkey..

as for the Open Office thing, well given that i dont really use it much and when i do its only to open microsoft files anyway doesnt really bother me,
Just that i had seen people questioning the size/compatibility issues with microsoft.
my only real niggle with OO is that like microsoft office it has become bloated/slow with a normal setup configuration (OS type doesnt make a difference in that regard either)..

@ Subito Piano ... thanx about the turn off java option, im not real versed in all the configurations of OO so ill see what happens when i turn it off see if it runs faster..

For experimental purposes i might try to compile OO with and without the java and see if it makes any dramatic size differences.

Although i still have no idea what the java component is for in these office applications... java scripting? programming?

The following post was caught between Facebook & Open Office discussions. It has been ignored; even though it is about the topic of the thread FirePup.

I'd like to get the answers................

Thank you in advance.

I believe ttuuxxx is doing about 12 things at the moment and trying to have a life as well...a little patience is always appreciated.
As for your problem does seamonkey still run from the command line..?

I have been patient! I have been waiting for 5+ days and this thread was on the third page down. I believe that the likelyhood of it getting answered was nil.

If you think that this post is rushing things -- I must strongly disagree!

Seamonkey won't run using
#rxvt -e seamonkey

What command do you suggest?

trapster · #208 Post by **trapster** » Wed 03 Jun 2009, 13:42

Just open a console and try mozstart

don922 · #209 Post by **don922** » Wed 03 Jun 2009, 13:54

@trapster, thanks for the command

Seamonkey won't start with mozstart

trapster · #210 Post by **trapster** » Wed 03 Jun 2009, 16:28

any messages in the console when trying mozstart?

Sorry I didn't want to get involved with this questions, but I hate leaving things unfinished

ok The problem is that FirePup and Seamonkey both have system links that fall into the usr/lib/ directory, they both have the same name also, so when you install FirePup it cross's out seamonkey's system links and Seamonkey stops working, and if you then install seamonkey overtop of FirePup, it cross's out FirePup's system links. There is a way around it, but I haven't tried it yet, because well I usually only use one Browser.
But here we go what you have to read up on is setting "export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME"
once you figure out that, then both will run at the same time.
I've never tried it, but read up on it, So if you figure it out, please post how you did it and maybe someone could make a simple script for it.

For what it's worth, I have 5 Puppy installs where Firepup and Seamonkey happily coexist.I use Firepup 99% of the time but Seamonkey still works.

Full installs of 4.20 Deeper Thought, 4.20 SUE, Woof 4.76 and 3.01 as well as 4.2.1 live saving to usb. No browser problems at all.

It is interesting how and/or why something will work on one installation and not work on another.

Still my favorite Puppy browser.

It seems to me that the firefox/seamonkey launch scripts are designed to include their own folder in the path so no linking is required but if the launch script is outside of the home folder then this doesn't work. I've had seamonkey and firefox co-exist just fine

Just found another strike against FirePup, as much as I love it.
Google Docs doesn't seem to work with FireFox one series, or at least with FirePup.
So I'm looking for the best alternative. And if it can coexist with FirePup, all the better.
UPDATE: Just downloaded Firefox 3 straight off Mozilla's site, extracted it, and it runs alongside FirePup. I did upgrade Adblock Plus, and when I ran FirePup, it said that FirePup was incompatible with that version of Adblock. Any tips on how to tweak Firefox for best performance, or what can be done concerning the FirePup Adblock issue? It hasn't crashed on me yet, but I only just started using it. Don't know anything about compiling

Tuxx old chap, how can I get speed dial to run in your rather excellent firepup 0.4.3.1?

I have installed the speed_dial.pet you supplied with an earlier version but nothing seems to happen. By the way, the 'help' tab still reads the version as 1.5.0.12 , though I have the new tabs on my menu bar suggesting to me that I am using the latest version.

Keep up the good work, this is the only browser that could challenge Opera 10 as my first choice.

Been testing small browsers in 4.35 (upcoming 4.4) and compared to Dillo and Midori, Firepup is faster and renders pages much better.Firepup is still holding up well.

I installed in Quirky 1.1rc. Seems to work ok.
It did takeover as default browser and I had to change default back to SeaMonkey.
Seems to be really fast loading.
Any plans to do more work on this?
