Firefox +1 Mega Thread

[lovinglinux]

Tried running the first command in Terminal, and it asked me for a password. It then wouldn't allow me to type anything in for the password.

That is normal. The password is entered, just not displayed. Just type the password and hit Enter.

You have ubuntu on your work machine? Or did you just update to FF5 on a Windows machine?

Ubuntu 10.10 on everything. XP is in Virtualbox, but rarely use it....

After upgrading Firefox 3.6.18 to 5.0 on a relative's computer from the stable PPA, the interface of Firefox 5.0 is in English. The OS, Ubuntu 10.04, is in Russian, and so was the old Firefox. The locales installed are as follows:

locale -a
C
en_AG
en_AU.utf8
en_BW.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_DK.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_HK.utf8
en_IE.utf8
en_IN
en_NG
en_NZ.utf8
en_PH.utf8
en_SG.utf8
en_US.utf8
en_ZA.utf8
en_ZW.utf8
POSIX
ru_RU.utf8
ru_UA.utf8

We've tried using the command, LANG=ru_RU.utf8 firefox, but the interface is still in English. Running sudo apt-get dist-upgrade doesn't install any more packages. Can someone suggest a solution.

Try to install the new language packages manually. You can get the deb files from https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+...t=225&batch=75

Edit:

Do this:

sudo apt-get install firefox-locale-ru

Then type about:config in the address bar, then type general.useragent.locale in the filter, double-click in the resulting preference and change it to ru. Restart the browser.

OK - updated to ff5 (apparently) got another ff update today (though it might have been libcurl ... )

Assume that I'm not a mod (who are not picked by technical knowhow (by the way...)

Assume I'm called Berty - just downloaded and run the live session then installed as all was good.

Rebooted, removed the CD(it told me to do that) then pressed Enter (it told me to)

Logged in ... woohoo .. this is good

Oooh got an update - I'll install that - (I'm a good old citizen sorry )

Reboot - and it worked (only got a kernel panic in Fedora (and that was MY fault) )

Oh hang on - gone online in FF - there's these kinda fly looking things ...

mmm

Check for updates


mmmm
























This is the product of a dodgy FF thing and is not STAFF RECOMMENDATION NOR THOUGHT, T'IS 2AM AND THERE'S THIS STUFF...

Attached things for ll

What?

I guess you refering to those tiny little black squares all over the place. Looks like a video issue to me, probably caused by some update you got. BTW, I also got a Firefox update today. Not sure why.

[weirdwisdom]

Ran the commands and it seemed to update alright. It is running faster but it still doesn't seem to like loading images or logging into accounts. Also after the update an error message popped up.
