You know where to find them, but for other readers: http://slackware.uk/salix/x86_64/14.1/ http://slackware.uk/salix/i486/14.1/ This reminds me that I should upgrade TB in a similar fashion in the Slint repos. |

I enjoy making the time to play with inner workings and LEARN (however slowly). I'm just addicted to the learning process itself. This addiction/obsession with learning new skills and discovering how things work together is a big reason WHY i originally chose and still prefer using the slackware platform. But yes- i do always wish i had much MORE time to play/learn or... you know, perhaps potty train troublesome glitches. the old standard "..that's not a bug, that's a FEATURE!" lol or my personal favorite: There are no problems, there are only opportunities to succeed. @Didier Spaier Thank You - Thank You !

Ya SEE what i mean ! I adore this community THANKS AGAIN for the further much more detailed guidance. Incidentally, the rob.rice on another LQ thread greatly narrowed down the cause of the abrupt seg fault mozilla firefox crashes occuring after the latest updated of: Quote:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=5699802#post5699802 is the post where I explain how to disable javascript from about:config in firefox. I'm assuming this'll make the firefox gdb process easier... Here is to knowing where to start! |
I would suggest noscript or an equivalent addon which will disable javascript by default effectively masking this issue. At least until you enable the wrong bit of javascript on a poorly made webpage...

That didn't take long!

Hi,
I was having issues with; mozilla-firefox-52.0.2-x86_64-1ro as being very slow and locking. Not a ESR package but generated by latest-firefox.sh script by Ruari Oedegaard. I did a upgradepkg using ./mozilla-firefox-53.0-x86_64-1ro.tgz. Still no fun in the sun! I did some trouble-shooting and found the add-on 'IP and Domain Information' to be at fault. I simply disabled that extension and restart to find that was indeed the problem. Further checking found that add-on was replacing my DNS with a totally different address that were my preferred nameservers in '/etc/resolv.conf'. Unsure as to the locking but since disabling that add-on I have no locks using Firefox. So to my fellow Slackers, be aware of what you are using and what are the potential issues. Check thoroughly! Even signed extensions or whatever can cause issues beyond the installed package. Check out this post for some useful information for ESR and future Firefox releases; http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ml#post5699909 Hope this helps. Have fun & enjoy! :hattip: |
Firefox 52.1.0 ESR is out. Tried to build it with my own and the standard SlackBuild which led to an error. It is a problem with FileSystemDirectoryReader.h and I think that the Mozilla developers forgot something, but I am not a C/C++ programmer. However, with this patch applied FF 52.1.0 builds fine:
Code:
diff -urN firefox-52.1.0esr-orig/dom/filesystem/compat/FileSystemDirectoryReader.h firefox-52.1.0esr/dom/filesystem/compat/FileSystemDirectoryReader.h |
Well, for Slackware stable at least maybe we could wait the end of the qualification period i.e. FF 52.2.0 ESR to switch to the 52 branch, as only then we can expect the same level of stability as for the 49 branch. Only my humble opinion, of course.
