[EN] Firefox 50.x
« 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.

I used 50.x a while back, had no problems, currently running

Code: [Select]
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:53.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/53.0 ID:20161124030208 CSet: 34fce7c12173bdd6dda54c2ebf6d344252f1ac48
This is firefox nightly

I either give too many fucks or no fucks at all, it's like I cannot find a middle ground for a moderate fuck distribution, it's like what the fuck

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 :)

usermod -a -G users piper

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

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
