Title: Firefox 50.x
Post by: Taliesin on 2016/12/01, 10:26:55

Anyone else have trouble with Firefox 50.x occasionally locking up / becoming unresponsive?

It's none of the addons I've got installed, as I've disabled them all and then reenabled them in varying order.

In fact I've streamlined my addons and am running less now than i was with 49.x

I find myself using Chromium more often at present, though I prefer the customising options that Firefox supports.

Oh, shiny.

Where did you pull 53 from?

If you never used nightly, might want to install to /opt, just change the username

Code: [Select]

chown piper -R /opt/firefox

chown -R piper:piper /opt/firefox

chmod 750 /opt/firefox

usermod -a -G users piper

ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox

touch /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktops

nano /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Mozilla Firefox
Comment=Browse the World Wide Web
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=/usr/bin/firefox %U
Icon=/opt/firefox/icons/mozicon128.png
StartupNotify=true
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /opt/firefox 90

update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /opt/firefox

Or just install where you want :)

Thanks Piper,

I'll set it up that way.

Cheers.

why are you using this? I think you should be already in both groups.

cas

I have actually been doing it that way since phoenix

It's probably not needed anymore, but I still keep it and it takes a second and won't hurt a thing
