Firefox on Joli OS?

paste above into command line

opening command line: go to last page of joli desktop click local apps click add local apps (top right) click terminal-terminal widget will be added click on terminal and paste above command

credit: http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/03/install-firefox-4-via-apt-get-or.html no need to do the first two commands listed on the website if joli is up to date.

Opening command line: 1. Go to last page of joli desktop. 2. Click local apps. 3. Click add local apps (top right) - huh? There's nothing at the top right.

Ahh, yes--you hit Alt-F1 to get to the terminal! Once I did that, and entered the string (above), it "installed" the local apps folder... that's where Firefox (and a bunch of other stuff) was placed. Worked like a charm! Thanks!

Firefox 4:

terminal - sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ubuntu.list

add to the bottom

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu lucid main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-stable/ubuntu lucid main

save and exit

terminal - sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys CE49EC21

terminal - sudo apt-get update

terminal - sudo apt-get install firefox ubufox

when I do the above I get:

"firefox is already the newest version. ubufox is already the newest version."

Hi, anyone using Joli

I noticed another question elsewhere and wondered

• what is the latest version of Firefox on the Joli Distro
• is it working OK
• (I am aware of a possible potential issue with FlashPlayer http://help.jolicloud.com/entries/316531-i-have-an-issue-with-flash-on-joli-os )

If there are problems it should be posted as a new thread, but at least we can cross link threads.

Apologies for hijacking your thread, but this is a minority OS for Firefox, and anyone else posting or reading this is likely to be the nearest we have to a resident expert on the OS.
