There is a torrent as well, you'll get it very fast on there (I'm going to wait to use the auto-updater cause I'm lazy.)

There is a bug in that rpm when showing rss bookmarks.

Is it okay if I upload my Firefox RPM here for anyone who might be interested to download? :confused:

[cydemon]

Huh using Firefox & Thunderbird 1.5 years no problems found till now!!!!!!!

[GreyGeek]

I've used the tarred installer on FC2 and the setup exe on W2K.
No problems on either one. Both are working perfectly.
If you had extensions installed on the RC1 the adblocker will be active on 1.0 if you don't disable it. I couldn't find extensions for 1.0. I may try the extension trick later on.

[ewdi]

give it a couple days before the extention gets an upgrade :)

[mugs]

What is the best way to install this, or does it have to be installed? I am still running .93 as I could not get Flash and Jave to work in 1.0 preview release. Also, it wouldnt let me open more than one instance. So, suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

[sayeeth]

I installed it the rpm method as mentioned by Thomas Chung. Flash and Java work.

[Shadow Skill]

I built the rpm but I dont see it in my rpm directory...:(

[mugs]

I am all messed up now. :confused: I got it installed, but it is not in the right place, obviously. It doesnt show up in preferred apps, so I cant open links in my emails (Evolution) with Firefox. I cant get java installed. It says it installed it, but then when I reopen the browser, it still isnt there. I seem to have firefox in many places. I need serious help. Thanks.

[bob]

Well, you can move or copy the new firefox into the old directory as described in this page http://www.linuxcommand.org/lts0050.php#mv Frankly, I've always used copy to make sure I didn't lose my originals, since I can always delete it later on.

As far as java, I can only tell you to check your typing and directories carefully. I thought I had it set twice today but my typing was apparently off. Finally, I used the file browser to move to the directory that I needed and then highlight and copy the command line that appears at the top to make sure that I had it perfectly.

[mugs]

Well, I think I have it almost to where I want it. I have it opening in evolution. But, i still cant get the java plug in. It says it installed it, but it is still not working.

[bob]

Mugs, it will say it's installed even if the paths are wrong. How about this - if you are still having problems with it, give us your paths to firefox plugins and to your java and let us try and give you the code for a link. BTW, java is enabled by default on firebird, but I'd also check to make sure that setting is correct.

[TheBadger]

I guess I'll have to wait for a RPM. I got my FC3 up and thought I would get the latest Firefox before moving on. I can't get it to run no matter what I try and I'm limited with Linux.

[asun]

Slightly OT here. Where are the plugins being stored by Firefox now? It used to be in ~/.phoenix for me, but it seems that's not the case anymore.

[crackers]

~/.mozilla/plugins is one of the "default" locations. For multiple users, you can use /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins, which I believe is the first place checked.

[mugs]

I made some changes, I installed Firefox to /usr/local and then made a symlink to /usr/bin. This lets it run fine for all users. However, still cannot get java to work. Justolbob, what do you need to know as far as the locations? Thanks.

error: Failed dependencies:
desktop-file-utils >= 0.9 is needed by firefox-1.0-0
libstdc++.so.6 is needed by firefox-1.0-0
libstdc++.so.6(GLIBCXX_3.4) is needed by firefox-1.0-0

[crackers]

My brand-spankin' new FC3 repository has:
libstdc++.so.6 is in the libstdc++-3.4.2-6.fc3 RPM
desktop-file-utils is in the desktop-file-utils-0.9-2 RPM

You might check to see if they're actually installed:

rpm -qa | grep libstdc
rpm -qa | grep desktop-file-utils
