I'm saving some language packs for Firefox/IceCat here:

This is convenient because not everyone can compile separate versions for their languages, or the person who maintains the packages doesn't have enough time to do so. This is also convenient because at times updates for Puppy Linux aren't done as soon as a new version of the browser is released, and sometimes these langpacks disappear or are blocked for other browsers.

Aboard 528, the official Mozilla update from 13.0.1 to 14.0.1- seamless. One of the best yet.. Nice!

NOTE ON FIREFOX/ICECAT LANGUAGE PACKS: To easily activate the installed language pack, install the locale_switcher extension (available in the same folder link I've posted). Then select Tools > Language, choose your language and restart Firefox. Once this is done, you can remove the locale_switcher extension.

I've just uploaded the Firefox-15.01 pet.

I don't see the need to keep so many versions, so version 11 has been removed,
Just because I like the number 12 better. Rolling Eyes

I've altered the way it runs a little bit: for more info, please see the following thread:
Updated Firefox crashes on opening another Firefox.

Tman: could you SFS your 15.0.1 pet? thanks in advance

shouldnt all outdated browser releases not be deleted from a security point of view? that's why i prefer SFS'es of browser applications - and also not to stress my old hardware

I got to thinking , there was a huge flaw in my logic with the Firefox-15.01.sfs :

firefox_cleanup won't run if it gets unloaded with the rest of the sfs. Doh! I've fixed the problem and uploaded it as Firefox-15.01-official.sfs

I am getting the Forbidden message?

You don't have permission to access /Tman/apps/firefox/Firefox-15.0.1-official.sfs on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I let Firefox update itself to version 15.0.1 from the mozilla site. I saw nothing in its appearance that was different from version 14.0.1

After a few hours of use I chose (for reasons not important here) to click on a button to reset to default values. I regret doing so! The Firefox that I am left with now has no provision for opting to set TABS beneath the address, that option has disappeared from the drop-down menu. Crying or Very sad

I also notice that it has caused my savefile to show a red alert of being nearly full. The icon was comfortably orange before, since I'd deleted 60 MB of junk.

FF junk can be removed via script.
