Language packs for Firefox and IceCat |
|
I'm saving some language packs for Firefox/IceCat here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/a2n6emd3t3olh0x/Hjy8Bod_ta
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.

vicmz, I've placed a link for them on the first page, so they will be easier to find later on.

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.
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

Version 7 was stable (IMO), while versions 8 to 10 were not that great. Versions 11 to 15 appear to be stable..basically I try to keep the good ones, while removing others that are redundant. You can find other versions in the Repositories if you really want them, and I think Pemasu keeps old copies as well on smokey01's server.
Oh yeah, I am uploading the sfs as I type this post. The sfs does not handle puninstall.sh scripts like pets do, so I renamed the puninstall.sh file to /root/my-applications/bin/firefox_cleanup. If you unload the sfs and want to get rid of the leftover files, type sh firefox_cleanup in the terminal.

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.

Sorry about that. It is now fixed. I didn't realize that the pet2sfs script I was using, was doing that. I guess I should fix that script now.

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.
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.
