Support for 3.6 is going away. 10.x will not run properlty on RHEL5 because FF10 needs a newer version of the nss package. We have no choice but to use RHEL5.

As soon as you hit something that uses Flash (such as youtube) the browser locks up, and the following messages get output:

/usr/local/firefox/10.0.2/plugin-container: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12.10' not found (required by /usr/local/firefox/10.0.2/libxul.so) /usr/local/firefox/10.0.2/plugin-container: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12.9' not found (required by /usr/local/firefox/10.0.2/libxul.so) /usr/local/firefox/10.0.2/plugin-container: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12.10' not found (required by /usr/local/firefox/10.0.2/libxul.so) /usr/local/firefox/10.0.2/plugin-container: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12.9' not found (required by /usr/local/firefox/10.0.2/libxul.so) /usr/local/firefox/10.0.2/plugin-container: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12.10' not found (required by /usr/local/firefox/10.0.2/libxul.so) /usr/local/firefox/10.0.2/plugin-container: /usr/lib/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.12.9' not found (required by /usr/local/firefox/10.0.2/libxul.so)

The EDA industry pretty much runs on Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 because the tools (which are very complex) take time to port and verify on a new OS. We have hundreds of engineers on RHEL5, and we have no idea when we will be able to move to RHEL6. Can you please either build with libraries supported by RHEL5 or provide a statically linked version of the newer FF?

We're stuck at 3.6.x until this happens (or some interim version supports EL5, but I don't have time to go try every version after 3.6).

We actually use CentOS5, but it's binary compatible with EL5.

Thanks.

I will not pretend to know any answers to your problems, but I do wonder if you realise Firefox did decide to produce and support an Extended Stability Release, unfortunately this is NOT going to be based on Firefox 3.6. but on Firefox 10.

For those directly concerned with this see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Enterprise#How_to_Participate_and_Post
