raffytaffy · 03-21-2006, 10:50 PM

Ok so i instaled firefox 1.5 from a rpm source using yast...instal went smooth...i opened the browser..it asked me if i wanted to instal beagle indexer and dom inspector..i choose yes..(figuring i could unistal later)...so i headed over to extensions..and saw that all my extensions were in (will be instaled after firefox is restarted ) mode..and DOM inspector said ( will be upgraded) after firefox is restarted....So i restarted..and same thing...( am i missing something here) ow and another thing...i cant unistal DOM inspector ....( when i highlight the link the uninstal button dosent light up) and i dont see beagle indexer anywhere...what do i do

(i use SUSE 10.0) have the required java instaled and updated for firefox)

It seems like you might be having permission issues. Try running Firefox as root and see if you get the same problem.

i was able to erase beagle indexer...but as soon as i reopened the damn browser...its back there...from root..or as usr...man..this shit is pissing me off lol

oh man chill...
try deleting your profile folder after removing beagle. Make sure u save your bookmarks. Try some merlot it really chills u out.

If that still doesn't work, I would suggest reinstalling it. If that doesn't work either, you could also try using a different source such as the tarball on mozilla.com

i will give tarball a try...and merlot...i dunno...cognac and fried shrimp sounds better...

I could use IE7 on my Fedora system, have WT and IE6 installed and running to test web pages in and would be nice to use IE7 for testing as well.

So what is the secret to getting IE7 to run?

Better get yourself a good spyware/malware program also with IE7. They run great in wine.

Save yourself a lot of headaches!

Open YaST.
Go to the Software Section.
Click on 'Installation Source'
Add this repository as an FTP source to your list:
(server) ftp.gwdg.de
(directory) pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/projects/mozilla/10.0
Be sure refresh is turned on for the source.

Now use the Software Management module in YaST and the latest Firefox release will be available in the repository. Just check the box, click accept, and let YaST do the worrying!

HTH,

J

/EDIT - Be sure to remove your blitzed manual installation first.

Should fortunatly not. Anyway Micro~1 seems to want it to run ONLY on windows xp 2.
See the difference in the name of the "product" :

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ie7/default.mspx

There is one more word , you have to find it

Same for http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/download/sysreq.jsp , only for windows
Same for safari, only for macosX Tiger
...

When companies force you to use their last OS, there is always something bad hiding...

Konqueror is very good if you want a light/real standard www/secure browser

ps: for people asking questions about their firefox, create a new thread!

ah I forgot:
