Haha. Nice going Ttuuxxx. Thanks much!

I don't mind using it now, but my sister doesn't quite feel the same about it. Not sure exactly why, but maybe I'll quiz her and give you some feedback

Both those download links are down now. Maybe you can try
ftp://puppy:puppylinux@ftp.servage.net

No mirrors huh?

It's a good thing I already downloaded FirePup awile back. It's really working great,..I might add.

Guess we'll have to wait 'til Dec. 1st for the mirrors to be back up, huh?

Try this link for version 4.2

Ttuuxxx--if you PM me the 4.3 file i can put it up on our server as well -- maybe this will relieve some of the congestion.

i'm testing last version of firepup in puppy 4.0. it goes fast. I've a question. I tried to play some java games online it says i've to install java plugin. Why Seamonkey can run it without installing java and Firepup not?
I still have Seamonkey...is there a way to let Firepup run java?

#42 Post by **ttuuxxx** » Sat 29 Nov 2008, 22:41

Hi can I have a link to the game your trying to play, So I can test the two browsers and figure it out, Thanks for your time.

Ttuuxxx will know more than me on this, but i had trouble with flash when i installed FF3 and DIDN'T import my preferences from SeaMonkey on my first startup of FF. When i uninstalled FF3 and re-installed, choosing to import my prefs, etc., from SeaMonkey, all was fine in the world of web. It may be a similar problem--??

What I've read about built in java script for firefox 1-1.5 series is that it can't handle it. you need to install java, But i'm looking into it:)
But I do have is a version of FirePup 3.0.3 that hasn't been released and works very fast on puppy also, But my whole Idea was to support just one vesion and the 1.5 was offering a great puppy experience so I have no clue which version to stick by? any ideas?

ttuuxx,

First of all, before i discuss this, i think Firepup is truly a fantastic idea and perfect for puppy. So much, that i'm using it in my puplet eeZos.

eeZos is being developed as web puplet so the browser is essential to the running of the puplet. The idea of the puplet is to give the users the ability to use web 2.0 apps instead of built in linux apps.

The problem i find with using the current firepup is that alot of these web 2 apps (e.g. google docs) can only use the firefox >2 architecture and therefore stop you using them if they detect firefox 1.5.

I don't know what firepup 3.0.3 is as i can't get any info on the forums. But can i really urge you to think about upgrading to a higher version of firefox.

I know that 1.5 was the fastest and the lightest. I know that version 2 was truly awful and i also know the issues with version 3 and that stupid database file that fills up root.

And i also realise this would be a huge task for you, but my concern is that more and more sites are going to force users to use firefox 2 and above as more and more sites are moving to web 2.0 assisting software.

Hi thanks for the nice feedback. I have Google docs working on 1.5
try this url
http://docs.google.com/?browserok=true
you just needed to put "?browserok=true" at the end of the url, But yes you make a valid point, People should need to come to me for a answers on viewing websites, It should just be automatic. I'll see what I can do

but meanwhile do you have any other sites with issues?

Ttuuxx,

Thanks for looking into this.

I beleive hotmail has the same issue as well.

I'm sure it must be some server side javascript. If i remember from my web deisgn days, we use to try and instantiate an object that was only found in the new browser not in the old. If successful, then we could assume it was the latest browser.

Thanks,

I just tried hotmail and it works, Just read the page, it says, if you want to continue using this browser some features might not work, just click on it and 100% of the features work

The phrase 'user agent spoofing' comes to mind......

Someone here had the same response on hotmail but yet we couldn't see any 'lack' of features on firefox 1.5.
Annoying how the goalposts keep being moved for no reason on the web...same goes for 'flash 9' content which has simply been exported that way but actually could run as flash 7 and often does lol.

my 2 cents worth
