@brianL: Keep latest-firefox around and rerun it every once in a while. The script will fetch and repack FF if the version available is newer than the one you have installed. Oh, and you don't have to be root to run the script, it'll still set file ownership to root anyway. ;)
P.S. You might want to set FFLANG=en-GB so you get the correct version! :) |
OK. Thanks for the advice. :hattip:

Yes, thanks ruario, tour script worked great.
But, one question. Where did you get the 64bit 21.01? The only 64 bit I could find was form nightlies. I couldn't just find 64 bit releases. tj |

Read the script and you will see where I got it. :D Alternatively, it is found here: download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/23.0.1/linux-x86_64 |

Code:
user@darkstar$ firefox |
@GNU/Linux: Then use the binary direct from Mozilla. I link a script to repack it above. Read the script to satisfy yourself that I am not doing anything crazy and then assuming you are happy, run it and you will have yourself a 23.0.1 package that works on 14.

Another alternative is to just download firefox and just unzip into your user account. I've been using the latest version of Firefox, have not had any issues except firefox (v22) moved the plugins directory (where libflash goes) from the firefox root to the firefox/browser directory.

i just did wget the package from the slack mirror near me and installpkg it. worked fine.. dont know why.
also you could build it your self with the build file from the current mirror. edit: oh.. and i used 32bit and my slack is yet running on virtualbox!! |
