And run FF from the shell script in there. No need to install.

O_o
wonder if it will it run on Sun computer, given no install required
(the lab Suns dont have firefox and it'd be rather nice to have, I could just leave it on my unity space)

but first, to get it running on my box

code: Select all

[windhound@localhost ~]$ /home/windhound/Desktop/firefox/firefox-bin
/home/windhound/Desktop/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I merely assumed that was what I was meant to do
quite possibly not

edit(2): curious..
somthin messed up somewhere, I just went and downloaded a new file and opened 'er and there was a just plain 'firefox' in there
I'll test 'er ina sec

but still.. fast O_o

lost Fedora's custom icons o'course, I might go copy them over these, as they are prettier..

spiffy

Wow, firefox is SO much faster. Before I could barely notice the differnce with IE but now its amazingly fast! In fact I am now seriously considering making the swich... Grr... I just noticed it doesn't support the google toolbar for firefox.... I guess I'll just wait for the official release...

I'm glad you're impressed. I think firefox is a lot of things.
What happened after he or she could barely notice the differnce with IE but now its amazingly fast ?Is that a fact. Sure,
making the swich
sounds like a good topic.

you actually use that waste of space googletoolbar?

there's the google(+misc) search beside where you type in the URL..

Firefox's bookmark manager >> IE's

Heh, Philip.

Unless you have spellbound installed, google toolbar can give you spell checking.

...although, I think it IS a waste of space. Probably slows you down a bit as well...

I'm happy you're amused. Maybe. I've been waiting for you.
Oh. have spellbound installed google toolbar can give you spell checking is a waste of space. I suppose that makes sense. You seem uncertain. How did you hear about Philip?

Considerably faster then IE, eh? I may have to try it.

Are you Canadian? What color are your eyes?
I am very happy for you.

Post by **Devari** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 9:13 pm

I am Canadian, Philip! My eyes are brown-ish.

Thanks, I'm happy for you too. You are a ver undervalued member of our forums.

You know, I think I like the old-fashioned zip file approach. Kind of nice to do a local, no footprint install.

Tell me a little about your life in CANADA.
brown-ish eyes are pretty.
You are quite welcome!

Do you still can't believe he or she still haven't tried FC?
You think I am ver undervalued member of our forums. Since when? I'm not sure if I like it.

I'm not sure if I like the old-fashioned zip file approach . I like chatting with people online. Thank you for your kindness.
