This PET trashed my Firefox in 3.01.

I now have two menu entries for Firefox, neither is labeled as to version and neither loads.

The desktop icon also fails to load Firefox.

I see activity that suggests Firefox is trying to load but it fails.

I am using Dillo at the moment.

Can I back out of the failed install or is there some other SIMPLE way to fix what it broke, please?

HELP, PLEASE?

It is Wolfpup's Firefox 3.01 that I tried to load as linked by BlackTulip above.

The pre-existing Firefox was the one provided with Puppy 3.01/ChurchPup.

I am waiting for the release of 4.1 since 4.0 had some oddities with USB and PCMCIA - and I probably should have left well enough alone on this 3.01 install until then!

I will try the uninstall and report back if it does not resolve this problem.

Thanks!

I uninstalled and rebooted and it didn't work so I re-installed and rebooted and still two menu entries and neither the Menu entries nor the desktop icon Firefox works.

If I reinstall the ChurchPup Firefox/Thunderbird will my Bookmarks, Address Book, settings, etc all be wiped?

Thunderbird is working OK right now - sure would hate to mess that up as well.

Thanks!

Copied the default settings folders for both T-bird and F-fox to an external HDD but it proved unnecessary.

Ran Puppy Package Manager and deleted the existing versions of F-fox then rebooted to be certain everything was clear.

Downloaded the ChurchPup Thunderbird-Firefox and Firefox-fix PETs on another laptop and copied them over via a USB stick.

Ran both of the PETs and both T-Bird & F-fox picked up the pre-existing settings and folders.

I now need to look at some of the upgrades I have made on my ChurchPup/Puppy 3.01 laptop re. java, flash, etc. in case some are older than they should be.

Reading Barry's notes at http://www.puppylinux.com/blog/ makes me even more excited about Puppy 4.1

Thanks for the help here to resolve the F-fox problem.

Puppy 4.1beta loaded fine to my Panasonic Toughbook CF-27, albeit very slowly!

I toggled acpi=off for the test based on the more-stable results of that setting on my CF-28.

A couple of the desktop icons were slightly out of alignment but nothing significant.

Opened and closed Seamonkey Web Browser and though the resource indicator showed a large spike there was no crash or freezing. (I am unable to test the Internet connection as I have no wired or wireless nic yet.)

I opened gxine and the resource usage window spiked again, then settle down to half the height of the tiny graphical display in the taskbar window.

I closed gxine and opened xsoldier which caused a new resource spike and xsoldier could not be made full screen nor scrolled to view the bottom portion of the window but closed fine with no instability.

Opened mtPaint with a lesser resource spike and it appears to be stable.

As with my CF-28 Shutdown worked fine (didn't test Reboot).

HTH ...

Hi,
I think the 3.0.2 pet above is really nice, haven't saved a copy and now it's missing. I'm missing it too, where has it gone...? Crying or Very sad
