ruario's latest firefox for 57

AlleyTrotter · 11-14-2017, 09:52 AM

Just used ruario latestfirefox build/repackage script to build/install Firefox 57.0 (64-bit) on Slackware64-14.2
Took about 10 seconds to get used to the new GUI
Fells a lot snapper than 56.0.2
I like it.
My extensions worked right out of the box
Disconnect
Privacy Badger
Invisible Hand
Cookie Auto-Delete
HTTPS Everywhere
uBlock Origin
DuckDuckGo
all except NoScript This worries me.

Take a look a uMatrix: it's very similar to NoScript.

NoScript 10 will be released very soon

Yipee!! Thaks for that, I'd not seen the good news.

Is there still no ALSA support, unless you compile it yourself?

The situation has not changed in that respect, according to the comments here.

I feel like this title gives me too much credit.

It is really just about Firefox 57 and you happen to have used my script to obtain a package.

Good work ruario, works like a charm here.

ugly, favorite theme no longer works, only way of changing ui appearance is by manually fiddling with css files - no like!

I'm eagerly awaiting for this to be dropped into -current. I hope the hype from Mozilla is worth the wait.

Yeah, me too. The reviews are outstanding.

Hi,

I am going to wait a while so that some of the add-on hopefully catch up. Getting old to have to continue tweaking a upgrade to work the way I want it too. It seems every time a major upgrade then things break and I need to put more work into getting things back to normal.

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

I downloaded FF 57 and tried it out, i couldn't care less about the new looks of the UI.
What i did find was that the pre-compiled FF57 didn't have the flash crash on fullscreen that the FF56 in current has.
It's not on all flash clips but some sites had it.

Code:

2017-11-16 20:59:31 (4.19 MB/s) - '/tmp/repackage-mozilla-firefox/src/firefox-57.0.tar.bz2' saved [56208579/56208579]

cp: cannot stat '../src/latest-firefox.sh': No such file or directory

What is wrong?

I don't know, but I just tried and it worked (I am using it to write and send this post).

Please attach the script latest-firefox.sh that you used to your next post. Maybe it's corrupt?
