Double post I explain in this post and ask you to ignore the next
Finally I get what is going on at my place.
It really works with FF19 and many time but when one shut it down
for to use geany or to listen to music or to look at saved pictures
of cool Bikes whatever and then restart it
then it check if the extensions are compatible with FF19
and them realize they are not updated to be able to be used
on FF19 so it instantly goes back to a FF17 backup somewhere
it was done within a second so it must have prepared for it.
So now we know how it works at my install but who knows
maybe Makoto or others have other factors that set in.
So there is nothing to do about it just wait for that they update
ASAP

Image too big? Upload, then link your shot from here.

In my case, it's probably something about Puppy 4.3.1 or some of my installed libs it doesn't like (though you'd think that with the latter, it would throw error messages).
For all I know, it looks at my kernel version and politely declines any more updates, because it thinks the system can't properly run it. The same behavior happens if you try to update past FF2 on a Win9X/ME system, IIRC. (It doesn't see the updates, and doesn't really tell you why.)

You can eliminate the kernel...... I used the kernel from 4.3.1 when I built Lucid Retro and I'm posting from Firefox 19.0.2 right now. Newer Firefox builds are probably requiring some built-in lib that's too old in the 4 series Puppy's.
Pretty sure Firefox quit updating in my install of Ttuuxxx's 4.32, I'll reboot and check.
On Windows 2000 Firefox won't update past 12.0 either.

I had forgotten but Firefox 19.0.2 also works in 4.3.2. Not sure what Ttuuxxx upgraded from 431 though.

Hmm... well, I think my Puppy has GTK+ at 2.14.7, and glib at 2.18.3. The odd thing is, though, as I noted above - if I try running the v18/19 binaries from Mozilla, they'll run, but for some reason, believe they're v12 or earlier.
Edit: Ran a couple of basic ldd attempts against 19.0.2:

Good that you tell us they have new versions already.
I am too dumb to get this feature.
https://blog.mozilla.org/privacy/2013/01/28/newdntui/
" the Do Not Track feature really has three states: “user says nothing”, “user says track”, and “user says don’t track”. In Firefox 4, we introduced two of these states with a checkbox (“user says nothing” and “user says don’t track”), and many people are voicing their desire to opt-out."
If one reveal that one don't want to be tracked that is a clear sign
one should be tracked and why would any tracker even care to obey?
Is it not something odd about it.
The better approach would be
These guys are tracking you which of them would you allow.
NoScript has something similar. all scipts are shut off until one allow them.
some site refuse to show Streaming Video from CNN unless all
the scripts are allowed So rather annoying but one at least
know whom they are wanting to keep track using scripts.

Hello everyone
This is Firefox 21 ↓
Find the dependencies for Wary / Racy at /root/Firefox-Dependencies (install and reboot)

Latest versions of Firefox won't run in Wary:
urxvt terminal emulator wrote: | Couldn't load XRE functions. |
I tried an older pet (version 16.0.1) and it runs fine. Those who wish to use the latest versions (21 and later) will have to switch to a Puppy that can run them (Precise, Slacko, Dpup, etc.) until a solution for this is found. Tman's got packages for older versions in the link he posted in the first page of this thread.
**EDIT**
According to some Mozilla pages the affected versions are 18 and later.

I use an old Lupu 528-005 and FireFox 21 works with that one
use it daily. But I have not tested what you talk about.
Do you have frugal install on HD or what kind of install do you use?

Yes, it's a frugal install to HD of Wary 5.5. User VV5 has had the same problem.
I found a Mozilla page (sorry I missed the link) where someone says Firefox 18 and later requires glibc 2.11+, while Wary Puppy has glibc 2.10.
Actually I use Precise the most, but I thought others would want to know.
