Any chance of an SFS like the one that stevebinion made earlier with FF3 beta 5 (has Java and Flash as part of it)? I use that SFS right now and it's great. Would love it if someone could make the same for FF3 Final. I would do it myself but time very very short right now...

Actually, I can release an sfs for firefox3. I'll get that posted here later today.

Steve test the flash first, I had it running but it slowed down my pc dramatically, I feel that Firefox 3.0 is missing too many dependencies. It makes your system unstable when you add flash to it.

Here is the flash: Flash Player 9

Firefox usually has the sources code available, So the best Idea would be finding it for 3.0 and compiling it without gnome support, That would probably fix it, I'm working 12hrs today, gone 14hrs so I don't have time, but anyone else is more than welcome to do it.
Have fun

Can someone provide a PET for Firefox 3 (not just an SFS) that fixes the dependency error issues? I am not technical and can not do this.

A PET installation for Firefox 3 seems easier for beginners like me and others and I believe would be greatly appreciated by many.

Thanks for any update information you can provide.

Here are the missing gnome dependencies, I've also included all the symlinks that puppy didn't know where to look.

2.73 Mb.

Below are the included files in this fix.

I'm having a small issue installing this. I downloaded the Firefox-30.pet file and opened it. It said it installed, but I can't tell that anything's been changed, even after restarting the computer (Can't you tell I'm a total Puppy noob?? )

Um... so what should I do?

Noob,

Does clicking on browser load Firefox (does on my Puppy 4)?
Or look under menu and internet is firefox there?

If you can find pfind in the menu and use pfind to find where 'Firefox' is in the directory structure. Go there with Rox or the command line and start Firefox . . .

Here is the manual to remove those Noob oobs . . .

firefox re-uploaded to fix the font problem.

With all the firefox 3 pets, including this one and firefox 2 pets, they crash as soon as they start, without any indication of the error. However, downloading and running firefox straight from the mozilla site works perfectly, except for dodgy fonts and failure to find my existing bookmarks and cookies. Running Puppy 3.01.

With the lib/font fix included it runs great on puppy 4.0, no crashes, but I haven't tried flash yet. Since the missing libs were added, Really messed the pc up last time.

I guess those missing libs are compiled for Puppy 4?

Steve, did you get round to making a SFS? I scanned the thread here but couldn't find it.

Thanks

Firefox updated to 3.0.1

@Wolf Pup:

I downloaded the latest version and tried it on Dingo. Normal browsing was okay.

But when I tried fullscreen on Youtube, it did show fullscreen and then when I tried closing the window, firefox crashed. Is there a fix for this?

BTW, Thanks for the updated packages.

That is my experience too.

Firefox has been updated from 2.0.0.14 - 2.0.0.15 - 2.0.0.16
maybe should test the latest?
Also I starting to like IceCat its basically firefox but a bit smaller and totally open-source no propriety software.
ttuuxxx

Icecat just released Icecat 3.0
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/

Thanks which make me wonder. Does the IceCat have flash built in or does that one have to be added which is a to newbies difficult thing?

That they froze and only way to get it out of that state
was to do ctrl+alt+ <- backspace?

Maybe I should wait until we have stable versions for linux?

I mean my brain go haywaire when I look at adobes text

I can chose among these three ways.
