For Wary/Racy 5.5 you have to install
libvpx,
sqlite,
dbus,
dbus-glib, then reboot for Firefox to work.
You can get the latest Firefox from here (English):

Vicmz you are a genius, I have been following all sorts of advices over the last couple of days, all which never worked, but yours did and now my Wary 5.5 is running firefox 30:)
You are the man of the decade:)
Oh, by the way, I suggest to run fixmenus from terminal before proceding to step 3, or it might not work(my setup). Also read this thread to the end since there are some dependencies you will need, which are not mentioned in previous post until the very end of this thread.
Maybe you (Vicmz) can update your post:)
Keep up the good work:)

My small how-to does tell to fixmenus before step 3. I've updated my posts. I also included a link to
Shinobar's GUI to get Portable Firefox. (You'll still need the dependencies for Wary/Racy)

Hi Vicmz, I just updated my Firefox to 38.0.5 by overwritting the files in the firefox folder in /opt - it would not update the normal way.
It works fine and you do not have to redo the steps from page 1.
What doesn't work is updating addons - any idea how to get that working?
With kind regards
JBJ
BTW, there are some guides that say you should copy the extracted Firefox folder to /usr/lib - DON'T do that, it will freeze your puppy so only reset button work - if you already experienced this, then don't start firefox from the menu - only from desktop!
