Hi Guys
I wanted to know where I could find a good document that explains how to step by step install Firefox in Solaris 11 as root. Basically starting from the PKG-install.
Thank you kindly.

May be I have to install Workspace on RHEL?

We have recently installed 9.3.1 (although not Planning) using Sun's Java Enterprise Server (JES), also suggest you upgrade to Solaris 10.

How to upgrade/install firefox for Solaris 10 on Sparc 64?

I just installed Solaris 10 on a SunBlade 100, as soon as I completed the install and I opened Firefox. The system asked me to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, I downloaded the file to the Desktop, then expanded the file into "/usr/lib/firefox/" overriding the older firefox that was there. Then I created a symbolic link to "/usr/bin/".
Now, Firefox doesn't work at all, no matter what I do, if I click the icon on the Desktop, or click the Firefox icon on the Launch menu, or if I issue commands from the terminal like "./firefox" nothing works.
Any ideas?
Any and all help will be really appreciated.

Hi guys, I also had this situation and since I was not able to convert the package to a datastream, I downloaded it from http: //www. sunfreeware. com/mozilla .html
They also provide some readme files that can be of help.
Once you have the datastream package you can install using pkgadd utility.

Installing Firefox on Solaris.

Hello all, I am sorry if this is not the right place to post, but I am extremely new to Solaris and I need help.
I recently installed Solaris 10 on VMWare to check it out and when I fired Firefox up it told me it was out-of-date and that I should upgrade and so I got the tar.bz2 package and I wasn't sure how to install and so I googled... I am quite familiar with using the Terminal in Ubuntu, but of course, they aren't the same. I found a page with someone explaining how to upgrade and I followed his steps by step and when I tried to open it would start to open and then just quit with no error messages or anything. Can someone lead me in the right direction of uninstalling, re installing or upgrading or whatever I need to do to fix this? Maybe a good quick guide for terminal commands as well? Thank you for any help.

Hi, I followed the instruction below and it worked for me ::
This directory contains Solaris builds of Firefox 3.6.16,
which are contributed by Oracle Solaris Desktop Beijing Team.
If you have any problem with these builds, please send email to
desktop dash discuss at opensolaris dot org
Installation:
* Tarball format
Extract the tarball to a proper location[1]
$ bzip2 -dc <tarball basename>.tar.bz2 | tar -xf -
[1]: Make sure there is no firefox directory there before you
extract the tarball, it's not recommended to just overwrite the old
firefox directory.
* Pkgadd format
1, First uncompress the zip file
$ bzip2 -d <zip file basename>.bz2
You will get a package datastream file named <zip file basename>
2, Install the package as root
# pkgadd -d ./<zip file basename>
The default install location would be /opt/sfw/lib/firefox
To Enable Java:
cd /path/to/<install location>/plugins
ln -s /path/to/<jave home>/lib/<sparc|i386>/libnpjp2.so
To Enable Flash Player:
1, Download the Flash Player plugin from
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
2, Extract the tarball and place the files under
/path/to/<install location>/plugins
To Run The Application:
a, Execute the application by specifying the absolute path
$ /path/to/<install location>/firefox
b, Add <install location> to your PATH and execute "firefox"
c, Add the desktop file and start from menu(pkgadd format only)
# cat >/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop<<EOF
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Exec=/path/to/<install location>/firefox
TryExec=/path/to/<install location>/firefox
Icon=/path/to/<install location>/icons/mozicon50.xpm
X-GNOME-DocPath=
Terminal=false
Name=firefox
GenericName=firefox
Comment=firefox
Categories=Application;Network;
EOF
Troubleshooting:
* If you could not start up the application or encounter some
unexpected crash, try to do this,
1, Rename the profile directory("$HOME/.mozilla" for Mozilla suite,
"$HOME/.mozilla/firefox" for Firefox and "$HOME/.thunderbird" for
Thunderbird)
2, Start up the application without importing anything
* For Solaris 10 users, if you have font display problems or crashes with some pages.
Please apply the fontconfig and Freetype patch.

How install routings in Solaris 10 6/06 ??It depends on what your routing script does. Solaris 10 introduces persistent routing, so you may just need to add the route once (persistently), then let the system take care of it.

Firefox for solaris 9

Hello
I would like to install a modern web browser like firefox on Solaris 9 Sparc servers.
These servers run Oracle and other mission critical applications.
Is there a way to install firefox on Solaris 9 Sparc?
Where from can I download the browser?
Netscape is already installed by its not very user friendly.
If I install this browser, how sure can I be that there won't be any problems whatsoever with the production server.
Thanks

You can install Firefox 2.x on Solaris 9 without any problems. It should not affect your production environment.
IIRC the Firefox 3.x browser requires some libraries which are not available on Solaris 9, which is why you are stuck with Firefox 2.x.
Sunfreeware have fairly recent firefox packages:

The Solaris 8 packages works on Solaris 9.

How to update Firefox in Solaris 11?

I installed here successfully Solaris 11.
When I looked at the Firefox browser it is still v3.6.10
When I look into the "Help" menu of Firefox on other systems there is a menu entry "Update Firefox" or "Search for updates".
This is (was) not the case in Firefox v3.6.10.
How can I update Firefox here?
Do I really have to manually de-install old (=current) and manually install new version?

Does anyone have a step-by-step on how to install fireFox 3.5.5

Greetings to All!,
I have a very limited knowledge working with Solaris. I need to install Firefox 3.5.5 so that I can use a GUI based FTP client. I have downloaded the program but I
don't know how to install it and I hate to break my system. Please help.
I'm running SunOS CyberJet 5.10 Generic_141445-09 i86pc i386 i86pc
Thanks in advance,
Ramon

From where did you download what you have? What format is it in? If you got it from Mozilla, it will be either in 'tar' or 'pkg' format.
See your system documentation on how to manage these formats.

How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.
See:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Backing_up_and_restoring_bookmarks_-_Firefox
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

How to install firefox on a windows 8.1 tablet

! have a new Dell venue 8 Pro tablet running Windows 8.1. How do I install firefox on it?

Save the installer to your desktop, then launch it.
* [[How to download and install Firefox on Windows]]
If the installation progress stalls, try the offline installer instead. Actually, if you don't have a copy of Firefox installed, best to just get the offline installer from the start.

I installed firefox beta 5 and flash crashed on every page so i reverted back to firefox 4 and now flash crashes on every page of firefox 4. how can i fix it?

Ever since i installed firefox 5 beta and the new version of flash, flash crashes on every page with flash on it no matter what version of firefox i run, and flash wont let me roll back to another version. I need flash for my work which is due by the end of the day so any help yall can offer is appreciated.

well i fixed this for a bit by reinstalling ff4 and restarting but now the firefox 4 that i re-downloaded continues to very aggressively update itself to 5 beta without asking me. it just notifies me once its done it telling me to restart and once i close firefox, boom. flash crashes every minute or so and freezes my computer. I love firefox. i have used it for years. but if no one can help with this problem or at least tell me how to stop firefox 4 from updating to firefox beta 5 im gonna go download something else because im losing money fighting with firefox to get my work done which is now taking 10 times longer to complete. i really want to keep using firefox but this is kinda ridiculous guys... I understand that betas have bugs but dont make me use it without asking me first...

Firefox crashes for unknown reason lately, so I removed it and reinstalled it. How can I put my Favorites (bookmarks) back into the newly installed FireFox???

Firefox crashes a few times when I was on Facebook and with email, also watching dramas online. Most of the time due to Adobe Flash and I did submit crash report. Later it crashes for unknown reason while I have email and Facebook on different tabs -- when I was on the tab of email, it looks system hang and not responding. This happened to my laptop that uses Windows Vista as I noticed. I don't remember it ever happens to my desktop that uses Windows XP.
It's pretty annoying of such known crash, but before removing Firefox, I did try to update all add-ons or plugins and it looks like doesn't work out. After updating for couple times and it still crashed like that, I removed Firefox and reinstall it.
'''Now I want to know how to put the shortcuts from my Favorite folder into the newly installed FireFox's bookmarks.''' I didn't backup the bookmarks by using Firefox. I even went to Firefox help for instructions, but it only mentions how to merge/input the bookmarks from other browsers. Please note the version I've removed and inrestalled is the same -- 3.6.13.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

i have a htc wildfire, and if i try to install firefox from android market place it says that my device is not compatible with firefox. how can i install it ?

According to a random website... the HTC Wildfire S uses a Qualcomm MSM7225 processor. This processor unfortunately does not support the full ARM version 7 instruction set, so Firefox cannot run on it.

I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar? I don't want to see Bing at all.

I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar. I don't want to see Bing at all. I tired the Firefox options, right-clicking on the search field and the toolbar selection drop-down but could not find a way to get rid of that unwanted search window.

*'''at the bottom of firefox''' there is a weird looking greenish circle with a lightning bolt in it*
1. click it and hover over to '''PREFERENCES'''.
2. click the second circle that say's '''BING.'''
3. '''Un-check''' both boxes.
4. you're done :)
Note: it's not going to show the google symbol encrypt when you open a new tab it's just going to automatically use google as a search engine.

How do I install Firefox in English on a computer in Mexico?

''I have a Dell 2009 computer with 4 gigs of memory. I am running Windows 7 home ultimate. My home is in San Carlos Mexico. I had Firefox installed with the Windows 7 as my web browser. I uninstalled Windows 7 and went back to Windows XP service pack 3. After realizing my dumb error I had Windows 7 re-installed, but when I download Firefox it only installs in Spanish(which I don't speak). I have tried many times to reinstall it(I even have my IP address located in the United States via Hide-My-Ip aplication) but it still installs in Spanish.My question is: How can I install Firefox on my computer? Would a cd with Firefox on it work? Please advise as I really like Firefox much better than IE(which installed on my computer in English ok).Thank you for your prompt response. Charles Yoder
