How to install latest Firefox on CentOS or RHEL

I wanted to install latest version of FireFox on my CentOS box as it wont get updated of the latest version.
Step by step guidance is appreciated.

Sorry but CentOS 5 is essentially outdated due to using packages that are from over years ago. The last version to perhaps work is Firefox 3.6.18 without doing dependency installs if possible like at http://warped.org/blog/2011/03/29/firefox4_redhat_5/
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
This is the downside of using a LTS Linux distro as they choose to stay with old stable packages versus being more up to date.

Oh and Please do not comment in the bug 621704 bug mentioned in article as there is enough comment spam there already as bugzilla is not a forum or like a comment section of a blog.

  • Installing Latest Firefox on Windows XP Embedded gives error: "This application has failed to start because pdh.dll was not found"

    I'm trying to install the latest (standards-based) browser I can on on old Windows XP Embedded computer. The computer's hardware does not meet the "Recommended Hardware" of a Pentium 4 (it has a P3). I initially tried installing/running Firefox version 28, and that seemed to work fine. Version 36 gives the error I stated in the question. It's not paramount that I run the *latest* version of Firefox (the browser is ONLY used for an intranet application), but I'd like to install the latest version that will run, and if there's a simple fix for this version, I'd like to explore that.
    Regards,

    Well, I was pretty sure it didn't have malware. It was running a steady state - like program & we have dozens of these on our network (but not on our domain). We have a corporate anti-virus (Sophos) running on all the computers on our domain, and there are no notifications of anything suspicious coming from these units.
    Just to be sure I installed and ran an antivirus scan against it though - as suspected, nothing suspicious found.
    As I mentioned, FF 28 runs fine, it's just the latest (36.0) that doesn't run (I haven't tested any versions in between). Either seems to install without hitch, but when the latest version is run, it gives the error about the missing dll.

  • I keep getting trojans in omni.jar file whenever I try to install latest Firefox.

    After downloading the latest version (5.0) my antivirus alerted me that the omni.jar file inside Firefox install folder had been infected with a trojan.
    I have disinfected my HD numerous times between every re-install of Firefox, and it's always the same thing. The trojan doesn't appear anywhere else unless I ignore it and it starts infecting other files.
    My question, is this perhaps because of the installer being infected? Appreciate if you would look into this matter.
    The trojan is TrojWare.JS.TrojanDownloader .Agent.~EWH@226922441 and it appears inside omni.jar, under
    chrome/toolkit/content/global/cpow/child.html and
    chrome/toolkit/content/global/plugins.html
    I use Comodo Antivirus
    I can provide a screenshot of the scan resault window.
    Thank You.

    This might be a false positive. There have been some discussions about that detection on the Comodo forums. I can't read all the posts, but maybe you have time?

  • Installed latest Firefox update v25.0.1 on WinXP Pro 2002 SP2 and now it does not work. Reset does not work.

    I just allowed FireFox to update itself. Now the version is at 25.0.1
    Running on Windows XP Pro version 2002 SP2. FireFox has ALWAYS worked. NOW IT DOESNT. I can't even use it to connect to my own router login screen. IT IS DEAD.
    RESET DID NOT WORK
    SAFE MODE DID NOT WORK
    What the F*** happened?

    2.Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back. For detailed instructions, see Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.
    The detailed instructions go into firewall config bs. HOW DO I remove Firefox from my program's list of trusted or recognized programs? What does this have to do with Firewalls? Why is this happening in the first place? Can I revert to an earlier version. My Firewall is OFF. These instructions suck.

  • How to Install Latest SB Live Drivers Onto New Install of

    I upgraded to a new motherboard and CPU and have just installed a fresh new copy of Windows XP on the machine. I haven't plugged it in yet, but I will be installing a SB Li've Value CT4830.
    In preparation for installing this card, I tried to download the latest drivers, but the web site says that in order to install the latest driver, I must already have the driver from July 2002 installed.
    Where can I get the July 2002 driver? It can't be on my original CD since I bought the card before 2002.
    I am trying to do a minimal install of drivers, and do not need or want to install any non-essential appliction software, unless its necessary to get surround sound.
    If it matters, XP Service Pack 2 is installed.Message Edited by anthonyanthony on -25-2004 02:25 PM

    Bif
    Same thing here with me. I recently got a new system but kept my Soundblaster
    card (Li've Platinum 5.) and with it a fresh install of XP SP2. I knew I would
    have to use the Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe driver update because the origi-
    nal CD could not be used (same as you). So I was doing a fresh install of the
    Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe with no pre-existing Soundblaster stuff installed (save
    for the XP Soundblaster drivers).
    So here is what happened:
    * ran Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe; did the typical install
    * sound is ok -- however, I ran the diagnostics and the mixer, soundfonts, and
    one other one (the last item, forgot which one it was) failed
    * tried to start the mixer to verify the mixer failure and the familiar "CTDevcon.dll
    has failed" message came up
    I have had this happen to me before in trying to install the Li'veDrvUni-Pack and I did
    manage to get everything working again but I forget how. I believe it involved running
    the CTzapxx program which I did try but XP keeps on putting in the default Sound-
    blaster drivers after rebooting. I think this might be the problem (the fact that the
    default drivers keep on getting installed) but I can't remember how to get around it.
    Moderators/experts/technicians -- any ideas?

  • How to install latest BIOS on Tecra M2

    How do I install the latest BIOS P000Bv160 on a M2. the instructions on the toshiba BIOS install say to use a floppy disk but the file size is 1.48MB so will not fit on a 1.44MB floppy. can I use a usb stick?

    You are wrong buddy! You have to use "Procedure 1"
    Check this:
    [How do I update the BIOS on my Toshiba Notebook and where can I get the latest BIOS for my machine?|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?z=234&service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=B IOS&FID=TRO0000000b07]
    There you can find this statement:
    +Prior to upgrading the BIOS please ensure the following:+
    +- Notebook is undocked.+
    +- Notebook is connected to the mains.+
    +- Notebook must be in boot mode and not resume mode.+
    +- Remove any PC Cards.+
    +For the current range of Notebooks Toshiba offers two different BIOS update procedures.+
    +*1. Windows based update: BIOS is updated from within Windows.*+
    +2. Traditional update: BIOS is updated using a diskette or CD-ROM when booting.+
    +*We recommend to update the BIOS from within Windows*+
    +_1. Windows based BIOS update:_+
    +1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.+
    +2. Make sure that all open files are saved and all applications are closed.+
    +3. Execute the extracted *.exe file in the temporary folder. Follow the instructions on the screen.+
    +4. The BIOS update will be done automatically.+
    +5. After a few minutes the Notebook will restart automatically.+
    I think it should be clear!

  • How to install latest AIR SDK (13 or 14) in Flash Pro CS6?

    Hi, I'm using Adobe Flash Pro CS6 on Windows 7 64-bit and I wanted to add latest Adobe AIR SDK, either 13 or 14, but non of them is seen as a valid SDK by Flash.
    I've tried downloading two possible SDKs (SDK & compiler and SDK without compiler) from here: Download Adobe AIR SDK (version 13) and here http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/air.html (version 14). Each time I copied the extracted SDK folder to my Flash CS6 folder where default 3.2 and 3.4 SDKs are located. After that I open Flash, then Help > Manage Air SDK, click on " + ", browse for the new folder, and all I get is "The selected folder does not contain a valid AIR SDK" warning message. It all looks the same with all four SDKs I downloaded!
    Not long ago I added AIR 4.0 without any problems. What am I doing wrong? Is new SDK Flash CC only or what?

    What are you naming the folder?
    Just as a general tip, since many applications (Flash CS4, 5, 5.5, 6, CC) you can save some space by only putting the AIR SDK in one place. Since CS6 and CC have "Manage AIR SDK" in their settings you no longer need to locate that folder like 5.5 which requires you to overlay the AIR 2.6 folder. So save some space and put it anywhere out of the way, out of the Flash folder. I have multiple drives and I have lots of SDKs installed at root on my E:\ (E:\SDK\AIR, E:\SDK\JDK, E:\SDK\Android, etc). I then just go in the help panel like you do and point CS6 and CC to E:\SDK\AIR and they work perfectly fine with the latest SDK released recently.
    Are you updating Flash Player to 13 as well?
    Last, do not download the Flex version for Flash. Flex is for Flash Builder if you intend on using Flex (it is different than Flash).
    Do not get this:
    You want the SDK from the big orange buttons above this warning.

  • HOW TO: Install LATEST ATI CATALYST drivers

    So ATI/AMD doesn't consistently update the "BootCamp" drivers and as a gamer I want utmost performance out of what I have (of course without OCing). Therefore, I went searching for a solution and found it and I will explain it here, step by step. Forgive me if this has already been posted. Note that I did this in XP and NOT Vista.
    1. Download the latest CATALYST drivers from here:
    http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp
    2. Open the driver software as if you were going to install it and let it extract to its default directory. Take note of what that directory is as you will need to know that file path for later. Once it extracts it will move on to an installation. Stop/cancel the installation the first chance you get.
    3. REMOVE your currently installed ATI drivers. There are two ways to do this:
    -1. If you downloaded the actually CATALYST Software Suite, there will be a program in the folder to where it extracted called "AtiCimUn" that will remove your drivers.
    -2. Google "remove ATI drivers" and I think it's the first link that tells you a detailed step by step method of removing the drivers.
    4. Restart after successfully removing the drivers.
    5. Download MobilityModder here: http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php
    -If you scroll closer to the bottom of that page, there will be a download link AND instructions for the PROPER method of installing MobilityModder.
    6. Run MobilityModder
    7. Browse to the directory where the drivers are installed.
    8. Click "Modify"
    9. When the modification is complete, close MobilityModder and Right Click on "My Computer" then click on Properties
    10. Click the "Hardware" tab
    11. Click on Device Manager
    12. At least one device should have a yellow circle with a black question mark in it. For me, Windows saw it as a "VGA Controller". Right click it and click "Update Drivers"
    13. It will ask you some stuff about if you want Windows Update to look for drivers, say "No not this time" and click next
    14. Select "Install from a list or specific location{Advanced) and click next
    15. Select "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install"
    16. Click on the "Have Disk" button
    17. Browse to the folder where the ATI drivers were extracted to (MobilityModder will have rewritten the modified files to the same location)
    18. The specific file you are looking for is a Configuration file whose icon looks like a white notepad with a yellowish cog that has some metal rod going through it. Click on it and click "open"
    19. At this point Windows should recognize which card you have specifically, if not, it will have the entire list of cards that driver can update. If you run into that, just find it in the list.
    20. Let windows copy the files, if it tells you that the drivers are not digitally signed, say "continue anyway". It's just an effect of the MobilityModder modifying the files and since it doesn't have a certificate, it's not considered signed.
    21. When it's done click finish.
    22. Restart
    23. Happy new drivers
    I'm thinking you might be able to skip the MobilityModder part and just skip straight to directing Windows right to where the drivers are instead of having to mod the files. I'm not sure if it works because I haven't done it but you're welcome to try. If it doesn't work it just means you have to use MobilityModder.
    I hope this helps.

    Update: After using the method described above the drivers did install successfully however, when I loaded some games I noticed that they did not take up the whole screen. No amount of changing the resolution solved the problem.
    So I completely removed the drivers and loaded unmodified drivers. I had to find my x1600 from the list and there were actually two but I just took the first one. I let Windows copy the files after warning that it can't confirm they were for my hardware. After a restart I tried my games again and they were taking up the whole screen as they did when I had BootCamps outdated drivers.
    So I can say that you CAN skip steps 5-9 (the steps for the mobility modding). You'll just have to find your drivers and some of them do show up multiple times. I'm probably going to try the other x1600 listing just to see what happens. I'm not sure if there's a difference between the same listings (mine was Radeon x1600 followed by another Radeon x1600) but I'm assuming there is or else ATI would put so many >.<

    I understand Firefox 3.6.13 is the most recent update. When I am asked do you want to replace the old version with the new, I get the message "operation can't be completed because you don't have sufficient privileges for some of the items".

    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.
