FF27.0.1

#1 Post by 8Geee »

This is the version of firefox-27 used in slacko5.7-2015a and the related full-driver version slack57-2015fd. I decided to separate it and make it available for download. It has BetterPrivacy, RedirectCleaner, AdBlock Edge, an HTML5 app for YouTube, and FireFTP included. Tweaks have been made to about-config to reduce bloat a little and have the browser use TLS 1.1 and 1.2 only.. Not the latest or greatest but it works well.

Since many people already have a browser installed, this one can go to root and unpack there. There are two files; one tgz for older pups, and txz for newer (Slacko 56, 57 and later)

This is the link for the tar-gz version.

This is the link for the tar XZ version. You may see this as a 'zipped' file.

Unfortuneatly, right after I got this fixed, it appears that theres a bug in firefox secure certifications. Rather than update the browser and still needing to tweak the bug I'll offer this patch to ff27 to correct the situation.
