Firefox 13.0 Nokia N9

Question

I keep trying to download firefox 13.0 from Ovi and I get repeated "download failed errors"
First I tried the software update with errors, so I deleted Firefox 12.0 from my N9 and tried a new download from OVI, still over and over "download error"  I went to bed, tried again.  I turned on developer mode just to try, but still "download error with the package"
Anyone out there able to download this software, I use it as my main browser and upset I deleted 12.0

Answer 1

i had some many issues with this as well.
it finally installed. i think it had to do with the version number and an additional lib file that was not downloading correctly. it was made obvious by the file name showing the 13, but the installation was still showing 12, and then finally would just crash.
here is what i did...you will need to be sure that you enable developer mode on your device if you have not done so (settings/security/developer mode/toggle on) [this will not hurt your device if you have not done so before. just be sure to follow my directions]
first, i tried to install from ovi store...it errored over and over, though it did show the download in the /var/cache/apt/archives/partial folder.
second, i tried to close ovi store and use filebox to go to: /var/cace/apt/archives/partial and tap the file to install. it would begin to install, but eventually would error out and just go back to the filebox.
third, i deleted firefox 12 by tapping and holding on the icon, then tapping the red "x" after that, i rebooted and tried to open filebox to /var/cache/apt/archives/partial and tap the file again, only to have another error.
fourth, and this worked:
open terminal and used these commands:
devel-su
rootme
apt-get clean
apt-get autoclean
apt-get update
apt-get install -f
apt-get autoremove
you may see some errors, or files missing. ignore this. be sure to type "y" after it requests for the autoremove. this is going to uninstall some resident files that firefox 12 left behind that seem to be creating the issue in conflict.
after it is complete. close terminal.
open filebox
var/cache/apt/archives/partial/
tap on the fennec_13 and it should start to install. you may see some errors that say something like cannot becuase another install.... just tap ok.
it should complete, and now you should have firefox 13.
you can check by launching firefox, swyping left, tapping the settings icon, about firefox "go to page" and at the bottom, it should say fennec/13.0
for the life of me, firefox has seemed to always have issues for me when updating, even on maemo. I hope they fix it.
hope this helps some of you.
