firefox3.i386 on Fedora9.x86_64 (rawhide)

[sandello]

Hi Everybody.

I tried to use firefox-3.0pre.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 (nightbuild) from mozilla. It started up correctly but didn't open anything :confused: It wrote:
Address Not Found
Firefox can't find the server at www.redhat.com.

In Error Console I found message:

Error: [Exception... "'Component is not available' when calling method: [nsIHandlerService::getTypeFromExtension]" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "<unknown>" data: no]


firefox-3.0pre.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 worked fine. Why?

Firefox3 depends on Webkit being there.. what you should have done is do a su -
password

yum --enablerepo=development install firefox3

by doing that will download the dependancies for you

Your way off !!!


He is already running F9 so there is no need for " --enablerepo=development " also there is no firefox3 package in F9 .

You may have a 32 bit lib missing !


Try

su
yum install nss.i386

ohh well, i just dont know why he would of wanted the .tar file then ,seems a bit silly IMO

[sandello]

The development repo contains firefox-3, not firefox3.
The x86_64 arch repo doesn't contain firefox.i386

He has a 64 bit O/S and wants to use a 32 bit browser , what's silly about that ! :confused:

[sandello]

I downloaded firefox form Mozilla. It' already contains nss lib.

I installed the nss.i386 but nothing changed.

[sandello]

Yes, I want to use 32-bit browser on my 64bit OS. It works on F8, but don't on F9

[Demz]

He has a 64 bit O/S and wants to use a 32 bit browser , what's silly about that ! :confused:
besides the point whether its 64 or 32bit

The development repo contains firefox-3, not firefox3.
The x86_64 arch repo doesn't contain firefox.i386

firefox-3 is the same as Firefox3

all i see from your first post is your trying to get a Nightly working on the beta or snapshot? you would more than likely have to use a Nightly of webkit also

su -
yum update firefox
yum install nss.{i386,x86_64} nspluginwrapper.{i386,x86_64}
That will install firefox 3 (nightly) as well as the x86_64 and i386 versions of nspluginwrapper and nss. nss lets you used secure connections with Firefox, and nspluginwrapper lets you wrap i386 Mozilla plugins for the x86_64 version of Firefox.
@firefox-3 vs firefox3 -- Normally, yes they are the same but not for package managers; "yum install firefox3" says "install package with name firefox3" where as "yum install firefox-3" says "install package name with firefox, version 3 or higher"
