Re: Firefox 2
'MR Tech's Local Install' FF extension can help make extensions compatible. It also permits customization of many display and config options.
RPM for FF on SuSE 10.1 has been available on numerous repos for almost a week now.
For example, you can copy & paste the following as a YaST "Installation Source". YaST will resolve and install the new dependencies for you:
select 'HTTP'
Server Name:
ftp5.gwdg.de
Directory on Server:
pub/linux/suse/opensuse/repositories/mozilla/SUSE_Linux_10.1
YaST may give several warnings but it's OK to add this.
It's always a good idea to backup your profile prior to upgrading.
As an aside - Some problems that FF users are having with 2.0 might actually be attributable to the themes used. In my case I noticed that 'Littlefox 1.7' caused visible page loading problems in some cases that I'd never had before. This occured in 1.5.0.7 as well. When I reverted back to 'Littlefox 1.6.7' FF2 again functioned perfectly. |
