Firefox 3.6, 3.5.6 and Firefox 2.0.0.20 and Firefox 1.5.0.12
Which version of Puppy are you using? I think the FF 3.6 pet listed in the first post will only install on Puppy 4.3 or higher (or any Puppy based on 4.3/.1). I could be wrong, though - that's the way it worked, for me.
The .pets redirect the defaultbrowser link to Firefox, so you should be able to click on the 'browse' icon on the desktop and have Firefox load. If that doesn't work, and you do indeed have the .pet installed, open a terminal window ('console' on the desktop, if you prefer), and try typing
firefox
...and press Enter, and see if any error messages appear.

I have tested the Firefox 3.6.pet on several puppies and worked well on all of them except Boxpup.
Which I installed it on that one it did say that it was missing many many dependencies but it works good enough that I use it just now when writing this.
Does any of you know what will not work due to these missing ones dependencies?
Edit
Yes I should have made a copy of that text but I have no knowledge of how one does such copies.
Maybe Boxpup are made on an older kernel and puppy variation?
If the log files in tmp get saved with each pup then maybe the error message are still there?
Or if it is important then I can start all over and report the error message?

The Pets that this thread points to would always give messages and not refuse to try to get installed.
Tell which puppy you have too

I had an unfortunate "Typo" there. many man
should be many many
Sorry.
I don't know how to make a copy of error messages.
Is it still there in some log so I can copy it now if you describe how one do that? the list was very long so I will not do it word for word.

I am using Puppy 4.3.1. I can successfully install FF 3.6 using the PET. But I'd like the British English version. (Helps with spell-check in Google Docs). I can download a compressed file from the Firefox site, but I don't know how to install it. could I uncompress it over the already installed FF 3.6?

yes you can, basically find where the firefox pet installs to, probably something like /usr/lib/firefox or on 2.14x,dpup its /lib/firefox open the folder and highlite everything, and right click deleteFrPaulB wrote:I am using Puppy 4.3.1.

then extract your firefox uk version anywhere and open the folder and highlite everything and drag it into the old firefox folder and click move
that should be it.
or if the the 2 folders are named firefox then just delete the old one and drag the new uk one into that directory

Firefox 3.6 pet
Hi,
I am trying to download the Firefox 3.6 pet from here.

But, I am being asked for a username and password. What do I enter ?
The post does not seem to indicate it.
Thanks.

Can't find 3.6.9?
There were problems on newest Firefox updates which patched 11 critical vulnerabilities, and Mozilla stopped providing security updates to Firefox users as it investigates a bug that caused computers to crash last week. “Mozilla began receiving a large number of crash reports after releasing Firefox 3.5.12 and 3.6.9 last week. The reports have come from machines on all three platforms that Firefox supports, with the majority of them occurring during browser startup.

...or install the 3.6 .pet from the first post in this thread (on page one), and select Check for Updates... from the Help menu. Firefox will offer to update you to the latest version.
duckrow: I couldn't tell you. I've seen a fair number of .pets created for Puppy 4.3 that wouldn't install in earlier versions of Puppy. I don't know whether that means the programs inside the .pets would fail to run on earlier Puppies as well, though.
You could download Wolf Pup's pets and see if they install, though most of those pets didn't seem to want to start the install process for me when I was using Puppy 4.2.1.

First of all, greetings to the community from a new member: this is my first post here.
Is it a temporary trouble?
Thanks
EDIT
I found this web page and downloaded and installed firefox-3.6.9.pet
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. I am not able to start it neither from Menu > Internet > Firefox nor clicking on the "browse" desktop icon.
Using the terminal I get:
What should I do?

For some reason, the server directory containing all of Wolf Pup's pets, including those on the first post of this topic, appears to have been removed.
Yeah, you need to have dbus installed... some Firefox/Seamonkey pets you'll find don't install it for you. You might try using the search at http://wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html to search the forum for one of the dbus .pets posted ("dbus" and "libdbus" would probably be good starting searches). I would have run a search, myself, but I'm about to go run some errands.
