I can't find Firefox 5 for Solaris on sparc

I went to the downloads page, found 5.0.7b (or something like that) downloaded and ran it, but it turned out to be some form of version3. It even redirected me to the download site I had just come from.
HUH?

I had a similar problem under Solaris 11 Express on x64.
Because of the way the script works that starts firefox, you'll end up launching the firefox that came installed with Solaris... the script gives priority to the firefox installation that is in the conventional place on the filesystem.
What I did was to move the older installation to /usr/lib/firefox-3.6
place the 5.0 installation in /usr/lib/firefox-5.0
and create a link to /usr/lib/firefox-5.0 at the conventional installation point /usr/lib/firefox
I also copied the new /usr/lib/firefox/firefox script to /usr/bin/ , overwriting the previous one.
Now firefox 5.0 is completely taking the place of the pre-packaged 3.6, as far as I can tell.
If you are going to attempt what I did, remember to snapshot your rpool so you can revert to the previous state if things go awry.
Also, please don't ask me to list the commands to do this line by line; if you can't easily figure them out yourself, you shouldn't be trying to do this. It wouldn't be so bad to tolerate firefox 3.6 until a new Solaris release includes the newest version.

  • Where can I find oci805jdbc library for Solaris?

    I am trying to use the Oracle oci driver on Solaris and am
    getting an error that oci805jdbc is not in the shared library
    path. But I don't think I have it. I looked around the OTN site
    and could only find liboci804jdbc.so but this won't work. Where
    can I find the one for 8.0.5?

    Hi,
    If you are using Solaris8 then international versions of Solaris8 has the CD labeled Solaris8 Languages. This CD contains required packages for Asian locale.
    I would recommend you to visit http://docs.sun.com for more information.
    In earlier versions, Asian CD contains all packages for Asian locale.
    Thanks,

  • I do not have the Firefox button the Getting started video refers to many times, I can't find a setting for it, how do I get it?

    The Firefox button referred to many times in the Getting started video for Firefox 4 (for Mac) does not appear on my window. I can't find a setting for it, how do I get it?

    The Firefox button is only on Linux and Windows. The Mac handles menus differently. In the Mac the menu bar is controlled by the operating system and is always present. In Windows and Linux, the Firefox button replaces the menu bar which is not possible on the Mac.

    Hello Guys,
    Where can i find the downloadable for C++ on Solaris 8 and 10?
    Thanks in advance.

    Albeit Sun Studio 12 doesn't support Solaris 8, while Sun Studio 11 does, you would probably want to use 12's IDE during development process, so give it a try. You can use compilers from Sun Studio 11 (stable version already available) together with IDE/debugger from Sun Studio 12 (EA available for download and stable version on its way).

  • On a clean Firefox download I consistantly can't open Firefox because "Windows can't find Firefox.exe" - doesn't look like it's being downloaded.

    I have used several download sites including Mozilla's to try and download Firefox. In every case, when the download is "complete", the Firefox icon appears in the taskbar. When I click on it to open Firefox I get this message "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again." I've searched my computer and FIrefox.exe is not there. When I looked at the files that were downloaded in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox there are quite a number of files including one with the Firefox icon and the name "Firefox". Clicking it once again brings up that can't find Firefox.exe dialog box. I'm on an Acer Aspire with Win 7 32 bit. I did have Firefox on the laptop but a virus forced me to restore the laptop to its original configuration. I've reloaded my programs with the exception of Firefox.

  • I have firefox 5, but now I can not enter a certain website. I would like to reset to firefox 4. Where can I find firefox 4?

    I have firefox 5, but now I can not enter a certain website. I would like to reset to firefox 4. Where can I find firefox 4?

    @[email protected], I'm surprised that page worked in earlier versions of Firefox. It uses a script to click on links, which has not worked for a long time as far as I know.
    There are at least two add-ons that can take actions on multiple links. I haven't tested either of them, but you could check them out:

  • Firefox 17.0.2 for Solaris 10 (sparc) (contrib) not available

    There is a security finding on Firefox 17.0.1 (CVE-2013-0759), and we need to install Firefox 17.0.2 for Solaris 10/sparc. We have to use the 17.x series. For some reason the "ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/17.0.2esr/contrib/" directory is empty.

    Has there been any additional info from Oracle as to when they might update Firefox for Solaris 10 SPARC beyond 10.0.7 ESR (''aka Patch ID #145080-12'')? I have not been able to find the referenced package for 10.0.12 ESR within MOS. Realistically, I really need 17.0.5 ESR or later -- the contributed versions are not an option due to their questionable source (''i.e., Beijing'').

  • Where can I find firefox 64-bit

    Hi Herb,
    For the record, we are talking about the Flash plugin from Adobe being an "alpha" release, not the Firefox browser.... (see: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html)
    It's "alpha", in that Adobe assumes no responsibility for supporting incompatibilities with the Flash spec., would be my guess. I've been using it since November, 2009 (and the latest refresh of the Alpha, early Feb., 2010) with good results. By "good", I mean, it hasn't crashed my browser, seems to perform moderately well on my laptop, and I can hit all the Flash sites like YouTube, ETrade, and things "just work". I've had much better luck with this alpha release of the plugin than I've had with the Linux open-source plugin, swfdec: http://swfdec.freedesktop.org/
    If you read the Adobe FAQ (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/faq.html#flashplayer10FAQ_64-bit03) it appears Adobe plans to release the full version with their next major release cycle.
    Hope that clarifies...

  • Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application - multiple copies of Office 2013 x32 failing to start, Software Protection Service timing out

    We're experiencing a growing problem with our users in several different domains running in to Microsoft Office 2013 x32 'activation' issues.  We use KMS for licensing, which works properly, but some of the machines (~20-30 out of 1000+) sporadically
    throw the following error:
    'Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application.  Microsoft Office will now exit.'
    We know it's not an issue with the licenses per se, since they work on and off and we can force KMS activation correctly / talk to the KMS servers.
    It appears to be an issue with the Software Protection service not starting properly.  In Event Viewer, we see the following:
    'Software protection service failed to start due to the following error- the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
    Event 7000'
    This is occurring on a variety of machines in a variety of environments, all fully patched with the latest Office updates.  It's inconsistent, and the 'manually restart the Software Protection Service' solution is not viable as it's occurring on many
    different workstations.  Office repairs have also been unsuccessful.  
    Has anyone else come across this? Or have any idea why the Software Protection Service might be sporadically failing?  Maybe an Office update in the last 2-3 months?
    Thanks for any info.

  • WebtopNaming - can not find server name for server ID

    We have a LB, and web servers in front of OpenSSO app servers in our environment.
    OpenSSO debug log CoreSystem fills up with lot of errors like these:
    ERROR: WebtopNaming.getServerFromID() can not find server name for server ID : 07
    com.iplanet.services.naming.ServerEntryNotFoundException: Cannot find server.
    Sometimes, it even complains about a server id (07 in the following trace) which doesn't even exist in the Site Id Table.
    There are no changes in the configuration. DNS is properly configured and all the servers and their connectivity are available. CoreSystem throws these errors even after a restart of opensso app servers.
    Any ideas about the root cause?
