Firefox 3 - how to

My first post on this forum, great work you guys have done! I have activated advanced desktop, installed VLC, skype etc

With my 8GB Linux version, just wondering if it'll ever be possible to upgrade the built-in firefox to latest version of 3.01

Any help will be appreciated.

 

Hi,

There are a how-to guide in this link - http://macles.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/ ... -one-a110/

 

Thank-you, it's great!
Firefox3 seems faster and deals better with fullscreen (F11) hidding the top address bar & tabs while browsing a page.

Other tips for firefox in > Edit > Preferences :
> Advanced > General > Use smooth scrolling [well, not much difference anyway]
> Content > Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum font size = 13 [In order to avoid those pages with text so small it's unreadable!]

And Alt+mouse on the Preferences window to move it around (too big to see it entirely, nice tip from another post).

 

yea. got firefox 3 to install following the directions. You guys are wonderful!

 

I've made a follow-up post about Firefox.

regards to macles about firefox 3...
thnx

 

well, hell, that's a lot commands for me, but somehow, i got it work!!!! hurray, finally, ff3 on my one! thanks sooooooo much!!!

 

i've been using firefox 3 with my other laptop (ubuntu), and have been experiencing problems with flash banners covering navigation menus (an adobe problem accroding to forum). But haven't had this problem with my aspire one. If i switch to firefox 3 will this problem appear again?

 

Thanks for how to, works great

 

there arent no simple way to do that, maybe with the repository???

 

This way it is pretty simple just follow the instruction (there is message "connection denied" after some actions in terminal but just ignore them and keep going) otherwise its very simple.

 

I dont like terminal commands

 

jango
Yeah, but if you are going to use linux you have to build friendship with Terminal

 

can some one tell me what is "curly quotes "???

 

just make quotes regular "" with shift

 

Solved ... i already have FF3 working thanks guys

 

When i type sudo mv firefox /opt

I get connection refused.... ?

mv: cannot stat firefox no such file or directory

 

do not pay attention to it just keep going. It is kind of bug.

 

On package manager FF2 still are installed??? can i remove him?
