updated pets is on the same link as the previous one. Updating is to repackage pet after fixing using two steps above. So, you don't need to redownload that pets, just follow that steps.

Installing firefox-3.0.10-i686.pet using petget will issue missing libs due to missing libs dependency, but it's ok. Firefox will work, as its LD_LIBRARY_PATH is exported on firefox wrapper program (/root/my-application/bin/firefox). Firefox libraries reside on /opt/mozilla.org/lib/firefox-3.0.10/ that cannot be reached by dynamic library loader (via ldd) used in petget to check dependency. To suppress that warning when installing, just edit /etc/ld.so.conf to include that firefox libpath and update with ldconfig before installing firefox. Or any shortcut to suppress this installation dependency error message?

Firefox 3 updated to 3.0.10
Firefox 2 updated to 2.0.0.20

1st post everyone, hi

I tried downloading both versions of Firefox from this thread and I get a pop up asking for a username and password to download. What's this about?

@ JRNetwork,

Username: puppy

Password: linux

Many of the download sites for Puppy use this now to counteract abuse from excessive downloaders/spammers/internet lowlife in general.

Probably best if all posters put that information in when posting links, because there is no way of knowing the username/password without trawling through loads of posts.

Some people report that you have to enter these details twice on some sites. I have never had to do that.

Welcome to the kennels.

I've tried the latest version of Firefox (3.0.10) but i don't think it's very stable; it's crashed on me a time or two.

For now, I think opera and seamonkey are the way to go.

@ D, thanks!

Hotmail doesn't load right on Opera or on Seamonkey so I'm hoping Firefox will load it right, since most pages seem IE/Firefox compatible nowadays but not always with Opera. Though Seamonkey seems very similar to Firefox to me.

I should add that ttuuxxx's firepup is good IMO, I'm posting from it now.

Hi, just giving feedback: (Puppy 4.1.2, EeePC 701)

1 - Firefox crashes every now and then. Console is as following:

/usr/lib/firefox/crashreporter: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

2- Flash gives an error on my firefox, and on my old seamonkey: This takes an awful lot of ram when watching p... videos.

Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set and is not UTF-8


Thank you for packaging
Cheers,
Droope

I use FireFox 2.0.0.20 still on WIndoze and Linux. The 3 platform has never really pleased me. i have never found it to be all that stable, though I do like certain things it does a little better. I actually use Opera more than anything else now.......

Yes, i also met this Firefox crashed with pthread issue problem...

Anyway, i've let Firefox to install its update to 3.0.11 from updating menu. i don't know whether it can fix this problem or not.

3.0.10 is stable for me after a few hours in 4.21. Flash 10 too (from your link wolfpup).

Cheers

Ummmmmm......somebody please put me in contact with the owner/webmaster of the puppylinux.asia server. They're out of bandwidth AGAIN, and I'm tired of running into that stupid error. Have him contact me, and I'll give him FTP creds on my server and he can mirror the whole dumb thing on mine, as I have no bandwidth limitations on it. He can even post a link to the mirror in his "out of bandwidth" page.

Please do this, people; this is getting ridiculous.

Grrr...double post...Eric

Here are some links

or just use this and look around

@SilverPuppy,

The puppylinux.asia account will not be continued as of December 2009. I can no longer afford both servers so the domain is for sale so I can pay for puppylinux.ca.

I warn you that an unlimited account will not handle .asia...you will need a dedicated machine/account and even then the bandwidth will go over limit unless you pick carefully what files you want to host.

Sorry for the inconvenience...Eric

So we don't hijack WP's thread please use this to discuss .asia

and please be nice to him, he does fund his servers out of his pocket, most servers have limits and his servers uses TB of info a month, so he pays for private servers, which is really expensive.

Firefox updated to 3.5 Final

I attempted to install The Firefox-3.5.pet on Upup476. It wouldn't start but showed up in Htop. Even running it from the command line gave no answers at all. And after quitting my system froze. GTK problem?

Works for me on my pups, thanks!!!
