Browser

Hi all ,
i tried to update firefox 24 to firefox 35. Found a tutorial how to install it and did
#chown -R root:root /tmp/firefox && mv /tmp/firefox /opt/firefox-latest
#ln -s /opt/firefox-latest/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox-latest
and now run it with firefox-latest.
I had actually the both versions of firefox and with pkgtool tried to remove firefox 35 but it cant, so i uninstalled firefox 24. Now i have troubles with flashplayer. how can remove firefox 35 ?

Firefox26 is the default browser.. but it is out of date and not supported by my Google Mail.. It also will not auto update.. and I keep getting warnings about Adobe Flash version being unsafe..

I have a lot of Bookmarks which I would like to save.. before doing anything radical.

Downloading the latest Firefox 34 for Linux from Mozilla [firefox-34.0.5(1).tar.bz2] does not help it only unpacks all the files but does not begin to install anything. Trying to execute [run-mozilla.sh] the only script file.. opens it in an editor?

How to save my bookmarks and update my browser..?

My Firefox browser says it needs to be updated so I downloaded the file but when I open it I can't see how to update it as there are just lots of files and folders. Is there another way to update programmes I am missing?

It is too bad there is no search capability in the Mozilla browser. While reading large pdf files I am forced to copy their content into gedit and use its search tool.

Is there a way to change that? Thanks, - A.

I am experiencing a strange issue where squid asks me to authenticate twice. Here is how it goes:

I have my Firefox browser set to go out my squid proxy. Whenever I open the browser I am prompted for my username and password, which I enter. Immediately the browser fetches my homepage, however, at almost the exact same time I am prompted to enter my username and password again.

Clearly the I entered the correct information the first time or the browser would never load my homepage. The odd part is that sometimes I can just cancel the second request for a username and password without issue. Other times I MUST enter it to continue browsing.

Here is a copy of my config: http://pastebin.com/mdM7gfLf

Any ideas on what is going on here? Thanks in advance to anyone who has some thoughts on this.

i'm little bit confused about how the upgrading or updating works. let's say im currently using ubuntu and one opened app which is firefox and im updating the system. after the upgrating is done im still using older version of ubuntu and firefox without any trouble. how is this possible. am i currently working on the programs which have loaded to the RAM?as far as i know if we run a program the whole thing is not loaded to the RAM therefor i think it's not possible to work that fine on the RAM without loading from the hard disk. im glad if any one can explane me this.

Hi.

I've just bought this spanking new Dell with Ubuntu Linux on it, but when I'm trying to upgrade from 12.02 to 14.04, it just freezes during installation when it's unpacking adium ubuntu theme.

What should I do?

Should I restore factory settings and try again? or should I just leave it at 12.02?

I've searched online already, but it's been fruitless.

EDIT: Of course, I've updated everything else before I did the switch.

When i doble click on some html file it gives me that error

KDEInit could not launch '/usr/lib64/firefox-24.2.0/firefox.

I can open it with right click and use "open with" option, but than i have 4 positions of firefox in context menu. How can solve this ? I currently use firefox 34.1 , installed it slackpkg.

I downloaded the firefox and extracted it using tar xjvf
And then when I try to open from a terminal
I get above error
Error : no display specified

It also default firefox 4.0b12. It opens when I click on the firefox icon and but not via terminal.

I want to open extracted latest firefox via terminal.

Any solutions available for the same.

I boot with Kubuntu Live CD,
I launched terminal,
go to the folder where I unpack the Firefox TAR ball,
and run ./firefox
it says Permission denied

How to solve this?
