I downlaoded the new version of firefox for my linux os on an Eee pc900 however i am unable to install the update why

I need to update my firefox web browser, however when the update has down loaded to my notebook it refuses to open and install
The bios is asus 900ocpi ver 1009 and it is using ECFirmware

The version of Xandros Linux ''(from early 2007)'' that Asus was using on the EeePC doesn't have the GTK package needed to run Firefox 3+ versions, you need to update it. When I did that update on my EeePC 900 20GB two years ago it didn't work too well, was slower than hell. I ended up installing a newer version of Linux named EasyPeasy, which is a off-shoot of Ubuntu. - http://www.geteasypeasy.com/ - Now my EeePC runs better than it did when it was new back in 2008.
Here's a couple of support threads about updating EeePC / Xandros for installing Firefox 3 on the EeePC, you'll have to modify those instructions for Firefox 4 or look for more up to date instructions.

    * 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.

  • I hate the new version of firefox for yahoo because I can only go back 1 page at a time. It's horrible for the game Farmville on facebook. How can I get my old version back?

    I want to be able to click on the back arrow button and scroll down to the page I want to go back to instead of having to hit the button 3 or 4 times to get to where I want to go.

    You can revert back to Firefox 3.6 very easily how ever this is not recommend as support will eventually end for Firefox 3.6.
    1. Uninstall Firefox 4.0 - '''Making sure that you do not remove your personal data unless you want to''' (Bookmarks, History, etc...)
    2. Download Firefox 3.6 from here [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]

  • When I try to move the new firefox icon into my OSX applications folder I get a message telling me I don't have permission. How can I get the new version of Firefox into my applications folder?

    I downloaded the new version of firefox for Mac OSX.
    I dragged the firefox icon over my applications folder.
    A message window asked if I wanted to replace an older version of the application. I clicked "yes".
    Another message window popped up and said I did not have permission.
    What now?

    If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

  • I cannot get downloaded new version of firefox to work.

    I downloaded the new version of Firefox for my mac but it never prompts me to slide into the Applications Folder and therefore does not allow me use it.
    When I open up gmail in Firefox, it tells me my firefox version is no longer supported but after I download new version, it never registers that it is upgraded.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

  • Navigation bar opens new tabs for links on the same site - only newer versions of FireFox does this! Why?

    I've used this custom navigation bar for nearly a decade. New versions of FireFox open new tabs when I navigate to different pages on my weather site. Very annoying!!! I've tried turning off tabs, but then it opens NEW WINDOWS! These links ARE NOT ENCODED TO OPEN IN NEW WINDOWS! What is causing this? Looks like I"m going to have to switch to Chrome or go back to IE, since nobody at Mozilla seems to care about this. They seem to think it is a good feature and not a bug. What gave you the right to decide to open new tabs at random times? If I click a link on a site that is on the same site I'm already on, and the link isn't coded for _blank, then it should open in the same window!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Since loading the new version of Firefox it will not open. When I try to download Firefox 4 or older versions I get a messase that says I must close Firefox first. Everything else is closed!

    A new version of Firefox downlaoded the other day and now Firefox will not open at all. I tried to redownload version 4 and an earlier version (3.6) but I get a message that says that "Firefox must be close first in order to continue". There was no other box open at that time. What can I do to get Firefox to work?

    Hey, thanks for the info. Upon further reading into the help section, I realized that I had to uncheck spybot tea timer to get the downloads to save & open. Wish I had read that a couple of months back... Works fine now anywho, thank you for your response.
    Have a good one!

  • On both of my laptops that upgraded to the new version of Firefox, chat feature doesn't work anymore. It still works on my 3rd laptop that I didn't upgrade.

    I have 3 laptops. On 2 of them I upgraded to the new version of Firefox recently when I was prompted to do so. Both of those laptops now have trouble with chat . My 3rd laptop I have not upgraded to latest version and the chat still works. Either fix this or I have to use a different browser. I need to chat for my work. I can't make money without chat feature!!!

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • I just downloaded the new version of Firefox and now every site I used to use such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube show "This Connection Is Untrusted"

    I just downloaded the new version of Firefox and now every site I used to use such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube show "This Connection Is Untrusted". Even when I do accept the risks the site no longer looks the way it's looked for years. Twitter doesn't even give me the option to accept the risks at all and shows this error (Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer). I've tried resetting Firefox, I've checked the time and date, and I've removed and added Firefox to see if that would work. Nothing seems to be working so I can see the sites the way they normally would be instead of "coded". Can anybody help me please?!!! Thanks

  • I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?

    I've noticed that in the new version of Firefox that you cannot save multiple tabs at one time like the previous Firefox 3.6.or so and I wanted to know if I can find that feature again?
    In the previous versions of Firefox when you went to you Bookmarks menu it gave you the options to either Bookmark This Page 'command' + 'D', Subscribe to this Page, Bookmark All Tabs 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'D', and Organize Bookmarks 'up-arrow-key' + 'command' + 'B' however in the newest version of Firefox there is no Bookmark All Tabs so you can bookmark all the tabs that you have up in one window at a time. So I need to know if it is possible that the feature is now in a different place, is gone altogether, or if you can get that feature another way?
    For me personally and my work I go through hundreds of web pages a day and save around half of those so it is imperative that I be able to bookmark more then one tab at a time because I can't be bothered to bookmark every single page separately and then go through hundreds of tabs in my Unsorted bookmarks in order to sort those bookmarks. It is simple inconvenient to sort every bookmark individually that is why the previous version of Firefox with the Bookmark All Tabs button was superior in its convenience.

    Right click any tab and choose "Bookmark All Tabs".

  • Since I downloaded the new version of Firefox the other day I can no longer access all my business banking and wonder can I return to the old version

    I downloaded the new version of Firefox as I was asked and also opted for 1 extra but now I can't remember what it was, an add-on.
    When I have tried since to access all areas in Business Banking
    I'm unable to do so, namely download next day forecasts.
    I've rung HSBC and they have assured me it is not a problem with
    their service as they can read my forecasts. It is very important that I can access this witout daily phone calls as cashflow is very tight.

    Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History,Bookmarks,History and Bookmarks
    See [[Smart Location Bar]]

  • How do I change the tab sizes in the new version of Firefox?

    Hi,
    Thanks for any help in advance.
    Of course the new Firefox is messing with me...But I have one specific question...
    Facts...
    1) I own a iMac...17 inch...So I can open lots and lots of tabs at once.
    2) I just rebooted my computer back to brand new.
    3) I'm working on finding all my old stuff, but can't seem to find two specific items...
    In the previous version, and before I rebooted, I had about 40 tabs (Including Cluster Tabs) opening-up whenever I started a browse session. But now, I can't seem to control the size of the tabs, so they get less narrow as I had them?
    I've already downloaded "Vulcanize Tabs" but that's no help...I think it was a specific theme that allowed me to do this, but many of the themes don't work with this new version of Firefox.
    I suspect I'll just have to wait until the themes are updated? Or, do you have a better idea?
    Also...
    I want to get rid of the "X" on each tab and only have a close tab button on the far right of my tabs navigation bar.
    Any help?
    If so, thanks again!
    Ps...Is there a way to reverse my downloading of this newest Firefox version and go back to the previous one until this new one gets many of the bugs worked-out?

  • How can I update to the new version of Firefox if I have Linux Canaima 2.0?

    Hi! I have a laptop acer and I have installed Linux Canaima 2.0.3, which is a debian distribution with some features of Ubuntu. I downloaded the new version of Firefox, but could not install because it tells me that there are certain dependencies with the old version and how to do to remove the previous version of browser and install the new one. Please I need your help. Thanks in advance.

    Either you need to install those missing dependencies or install a more up to date Linux distro version that has more current packages and not ones that are probably from 4+ years ago being based on a long term support debian version.
    There is a Canaima 3.0 which was released May 2011 for example. http://canaima.softwarelibre.gob.ve/
    You might be able to install Firefox 3.6.18 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
