Firefox 2008 7.5MB First release :)

[technowomble]

ttuuxxx,
I'm running Firefox 2008 with Dingo, I'm dipping a toe in the water of remastering to try and create a photo-oriented Puppy. Anyway, I'd removed Seamonkey using Petbegone, FF2008 was working OK until I needed to add a printer. No sign of CUPS opening in the browser from the Printer Wizard, so I re-installed Seamonkey in case CUPS was set to go to that, rather than ' default browser '. Still no joy, but when I clicked on CUPS directly from the menu it eventually opened in it's own window ( i.e. not browser ) and I was able to add the printer.
A problem with FF2008/CUPS, or did I manage to break something? Any thoughts?

Cups doesn't use seamonkey it uses
USEBROWSER="defaultbrowser"
[ -f /usr/bin/netsurf-barewindow ] && USEBROWSER="netsurf-barewindow"
[ -f /usr/local/bin/bareview ] && USEBROWSER="bareview" #from gtkmoz pkg.

This is in puppy 4.1 it says defaultbrowser,gtkmoz and netsurf
did you delete netsurf or gtkmoz?
Test the link also to defaultbrowser when Fire2008 is installed
also you might want to try FirePup v3 that I'll be releasing in 5 minutes, you'll be able to find it in additional software section

ttuuxxx,

You're right, when I checked there's no sign of netsurf. I don't recall removing it, but I have had instances before where deleting an application took some shared dependencies with it. Good oppertunity to learn my way arround Puppy, as my Linux experience to date has been with ' big ' distros. such as Fedora and Ubuntu!

For what it is worth, it is illegal to re-distribute modified copies of mozilla products which carry the mozilla-branded names. See the icecat, iceweasel controversy between debian and the Mozilla Foundation for details.

I only came across this thread because it showed up when I was searching the forum for references to Barry's 'bareview' hack. I have also done some small hacks to the gtkmozembed browser and to the more elegant looking minimo component. They are both very useful for when you need a small browser with pretty good rendering, java support, etc.

This was a one off and has been dropped because of it.
Since it was basically a updated security release on a older version. Plus theme

Puppy doesn't use netsurf yet, does it?
It uses GTKmozembed/bareview. This is essentially part of Seamonkey, which is why it isn't working, although presumably you can compile them using Firefox libs.
If you don't want to install an alternative lightweight browser like dillo or netsurf, you can just edit that script to use firefox. Or actually you probably just need to edit /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser to use firefox, and that will fix other broken things as well.

Hi ttuuxxx,

This is a question that bothered me for long..It actually bothered me so much that i took on learning C++... which it can not hurt after all ...

Now
Here`s a piece of the seamonkey`s network protocol C++ code. ...where we can see that there`s actually a 8 request limit on the pepeline protocol..

My question was :Is it posibile to modify that limit, say... to put it to 50 or something and than recompile the code and insert it into that main Seamonkey`s main body....and if we do what would happen?? I mean i know that The pipeline protocol it is not well supported yet by all of the webservers ...but i am not a network wizard...


Thank you

to answer your question yes, In the past certain pipeline increases have be made from the url box
here's a how to, "Saves me time, typing it out"

should work on seamonkey also

L.O.L....



Man,

C`mon ttuuxxx......

Everyone knows that ,and everyone also knows that in this case that won`t work because the number of requests that can be pipelined it has allready been seted by the C++ code there.So setting the number more than 8 would be uselles...That`s why i was asking if would be possibile to modify the number of requests that can be pipelined STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE CODE .....


Everyone can see that for example that for network.http.max-connections the limit is hard coded at 2147483647 due to the fact that they used a INT_MAX to set the limit so no matter how much you try the limit won`t change because this is the maximum value for a variable of type int.

Now, in windows for example for MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server and MaxConnectionsPerServer the limit is 4294967295 because they have used a variable of type unsigned int.
Which partialy explains why i get better download speed in windows than puppy..
But that`s an other story...I was actually wondering why nobody ever considered in breaking the limit of he number of requests that can be pipelined ...I mean why not trying to see what would happen...??

All the builds and version of firefox or mozzila that come out of the bench they come with the same settings in the network protocol and still they pretend to be the greatest the latest and the fastest...faster than it`s previous version...which also makes me wonder why bothering upgrade in this case,,????
