Installing firefox 4 in Linux Ubuntu

Downloaded Firefox 4 beta3. I'm on Linux (Mint-ubuntu).
I am assuming it detected my OS, because it offered no choices.
(got a .tar.bz2 file)
I was expecting a self-installing file (like Chrome and Virtualbox provide) where one can just click on the file and it installs (just like in windoze). (you guys really should make it as easy as for chrome - not everyone on Linux is a geek).
I have no idea how to install this. If it's just to extract, I don't know the conventions on where to send it, and have it add the program to the Mint menu.
Could you please provide with detailed instructions or point me to the correct file for download? Thanks very much.

Hi,
This is really easy using PPA. Just copy 'n' paste these two commands into a console/terminal shell.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox-4.0

How to enable the "debug" flag in Linux (ubuntu)

Hi,
I want the error message dialogs to pop up when I run an installed AIR application, running it normally, not with the ADL.
In Windows and Mac, I can accomplish this by creating an empty file or folder called "debug" inside the
(application install folder)/META-INF/AIR
However, this doesn't work in Linux.
On linux, I read somewhere (cannot find it now) that you can do the same by typing:
export AIRDEBUG=1
in a terminal.
This works only if I launch the applications from the same terminal; that is, I have to open a terminal and write:
export AIRDEBUG=1
/opt/myapplication/bin/myapplication
In the same article that suggested this, it also suggested that you could add the "export AIRDEBUG=1" line to the .bashrc file so it would be automatically executed at startup.
However, it still only works if I launch the applications from a terminal. That is, I don't have to write "export AIRDEBUG=1" every time, but I still have to open a terminal and launch the application from the command line.
I want it to work also when I launch the application normally from the panel menu shortcut that was automatically created when installing the app.
Any idea?
thanks
m.

How to install Firefox 5.1 in Ubuntu 11.4

How do I install Firefox 5.1 into Ubuntu 11.4 using a terminal window.

I want to thank you for your time and trouble, however, I had already reviewed the documents you provided links to. I am not versed in Linux and there are details left out. I will return to this when I have more time. I just thought I'd give Ubuntu a try see. I prefer the way Windows installers work - they do the work.
Again thanks.

I have version 4.0.1 on Linux (Ubuntu 11.4), and the "Import and Backup" button is missing in the "Library" pane, so I am unable to restore my bookmarks. How can I fix this?

I am using an older computer as a dual-boot machine, with XP Pro and Ubuntu 11.4 both running independently on it. On the Windows side, I have Firefox all set up with my bookmarks, which I restored from a backup made on my primary computer. On the Linux side, there is no button available to do this. I have looked up the Help for this, and followed the directions, but the "Library" pane simply does not have any buttons showing, where it should say "Organize, Views, Import and Backup". The buttons are completely missing.

Ubuntu may have moved those three button as well to that control bar.

I have RPMs installed for flash on my Fedora Linux server. How do I get firefox to recognize it?

The flash library is there:
[root@cbar-linux] /root/.history # find / -name libflashplayer.so -print
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins-wrapped/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so
/etc/abrt/plugins/libflashplayer.so
The RPM is installed:
[root@cbar-linux] /root/.history # rpm --query --all | grep -i flash
flash-plugin-10.1.102.65-release.i386
I have run the config both as root and as myself.
mozilla-plugin-config -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
I have stopped and r.estarted my firefox browser many times. It does not think flash is installed. How do I convince firefox (3.5.15) that flash is installed?

If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

How do you backup bookmarks in Firefox 11.0 and restore

How do you take and backup the bookmarks in Firefox 11.0 being there is nothing under the menu's of where to go. Also how do you restore a backup in version 11

nanceal, Maybe your problem is the integration of the Gnome or Unity Desktop and the Firefox User Interface in Ubuntu. Try clicking in the strip at the top of the bookmarks library adjacent to where it says Library. Do the options then appear ?
I am using Ubuntu 11.04 with <s>Gnome</s>('''edit''' I posted a Unity example) Desktop and Firefox 11 so my setup will not be identical to yours. I have attached a screenshot .

How to run oracle 10g application on firefox browser.(linux)

on of my client using Linux (UBUNTU) OS.he wants to run oracle application on firefox.but firefox always asks for intall plugins..
what setting should i do to run my application on firefox linux(UBUNTU) client.

When using Firefox Browser 3.0.x, you have to manually install the java plugin on your pc and copy the NPJPI150_xx.dll to the plugin directory of Firefox.
Make sure, that you use exactly the same version, as you named in your formsweb.cfg configuration.
In my case, were we use Java Plugin 1.5.0_06, I have these linse in my formsweb.cfg file:
# For Firefox:
jpi_mimetype=application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.5.0_06
# For IE:
jpi_classid=clsid:CAFEEFAC-0015-0000-0006-ABCDEFFEDCBA
Good luck

How can I set Firefox (in about:config?) to NEVER bother me with update notifications?

Welp, the question says it all. Or almost all of it. I DETEST the latest, MENU-LESS version of Firefox (and it DOESN'T help that, by standing on my head and spitting wooden nails in a particular direction, I CAN actually find everything contained in the old menus), and therefore I force-installed the previous version (28.0), but my problem is that I am still pestered with prompts that urge me to upgrade to version 29.0. I resent THE HELL OUT OF THAT! I resent ANYTHING NANNY-LIKE that is IN MY FACE!
So, I thought that by setting certain app.update parameters, I could be rid of that UPDATE SCOURGE - and in fact, it seems to have worked on my Linux-only desktop - but, alas, no, it is still there, still very much IN MY FACE on my dual-boot (openSUSE & Win7) desktop PC!
What, then, can I do to be rid of those update prompts? (Note that I am hoping that at some point in a not too distant future, Mozilla will offer, for each new version, a WUS and an I'M THE MAN variant, where the latter allows the user to steer the vehicle, as it were... if this never materializes, then at some point (when I deem Firefox 28.0 to be too unstable to use any longer), I will ditch Firefox in favor of an alternative that retains a semblance of the male's hobby-garage look (as oppose to HER slick, everything-hidden, kitchen-cabinet look!).
Thanks!
I am running openSUSE 13.1 in dual-boot iwith Window 7, and it is only on the SUSE interface that I am having the problem (on Win7, earlier versions allow me to tick a 'don't install anything, ever' box via preferences, rather than having to seek a solution in about:config). Right now I am using Firefox 28.0, having force-downgraded from the latest version.

How can I prevent Firefox automatically updating when first opened on a new CentOS Installation ?

Hi,
I just installed CentOS on a new virtual machine for testing. I need to run Firefox 28 on it.
NO. Don't argue. It needs to be firefox 28.. Yes, I know firefox 35 is out. Yes I know it fixes important vulnerabilities. Yes, I know it has a load of new features. That information won't help me in the slightest. I need Firefox 28 on this virtual machine for a very specific reason, firefox 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and 35 won't be suitable for this purpose.... The reason I need it is to do with testing a specific website compatibility with older browser versions on multiple operating systems. I am fully aware that the latest version of firefox is the "best"... but it's not what I need right now, so please don't ask questions like "why are you using an older version" or suggest things like "you know, it's really in your best interests to use the latest version"... I get it, OK.... but that's not a helpful reply to this question, because I have a really specific requirement here.
... sorry if that seems rude, I just know what sort of replies get posted here whenever someone suggests using an older browser. I do get why people give such advice. I do understand the benefits of keeping computers that connect to the internet up to date. This particular Virtual Machine won't actually be used to connect to the internet... just to a test website on an intranet.
So the problem I have is that this installation of CentOS 6.4 (x64) comes with Firefox 31. When it first opens, before I have a chance to toggle off update checking, it begins downloading Firefox 35.0.1 and I haven't figured out how to abort the download. I thought about killing the task, but I feared what that might do. So I let it update to Firefox 35 and thought I'd just downgrade it to Firefox 28 afterwards.
I do have the standalone installation of Firefox 28 for linux (firefox-28.0.tar.bz2). I can extract it on the CentOS virtual machine. I thought for my purpose, I could then just run the browser binary.... but it started updating before I could change the option to never check for updates... and there's no option to abort the download there....... sigh...
So I tried editing the file update-setting.ini. I was quite hopeful when I saw it say:
; If you modify this file updates may fail.
; Do not modify this file.
So I changed the setting below to say:
[Settings]
ACCEPTED_MAR_CHANNEL_IDS=dont_update_this_please
hoping that my rather rash change might indeed cause updates to fail :-)
Sadly, it seems that the updates are still happening.
Basically here is what I need on CentOS - A way to run Firefox 28 without it updating to a newer version without asking me first. I don't mind if it keeps asking me... so long as it asks me instead of just doing it without asking.
Just to be clear again - this is for a test configuration I have to build, on a virtual machine. It's OK for this one specific machine to have vulnerabilities, it's OK that it doesn't have all the new features of Firefox 35. It's what I need. It won't be used to browse the internet and go to dangerous web sites that might implant malicious code. It will only be used to connect to a specific web server, behind a corporate firewall, that my company tightly controls. I'm pretty sure doesn't have malware on it (if it does, I have much bigger problems that using an old version of a browser) . Then in a few weeks time, this VM will be deleted, along with the old version of Firefox I hope to have running on it.
Incidentally, I may also have to repeat whatever I'm doing here later on another CentOS VM to install Firefox 27, 26, 25... but I'm hoping I don't have to... but I assume that whatever procedure works for Firefox 28 will work for these other slightly older versions too... don't worry, I don't have to go all the way back to Firefox 1.0... it's not THAT bad :-)
So, with the understanding very clear that normally you would probably recommend just using the latest version.... can anyone help me ?
Thanks in advance.

Firefox tarballs from Mozilla Org use prefs within Firefox for updates. The "toggle" for not automatically updating - '''app.update.enabled''' and where to look for updates - '''app.update.url'''. The first needs to be '''''false''''' and the second could be a '''''null''''' string, do an update can't be found.
''I use both prefs to keep Firefox from updating by itself. I install each new version of Firefox as it is released, and keep the older versions around for reference purposes. Those prefs are the same since Firefox 1.5 came out.''
The versions of Firefox that are part of an operating system installation usually are that OS's own build of Firefox, and don't use the same update setup as Mozilla uses, in most cases. I am not familiar with Cent OS, but Ubuntu and Debian look for Firefox updates and from their own program repository servers outside of Firefox - as with the tarballs from Mozilla.

How do I stop Firefox from trying to restore session every time I turn on my computer?

How do I stop Firefox from doing this?

Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there isn't a hanging Firefox or plugin-container process left in the task manager.
Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

Please Update to the latest Firefox 17.0.x version.
