That's what I'm currently using, linux 64 bit Firefox 4 final I had been using Minefield but then it jumped to development 4.2 builds after 4.0 was released. Works flawlessly in my LMDE 64, all plugins and extensions are working fine.
Not quite as easy as a .deb install. Some cli knowledge is needed:
decompressing a tar.bz2 file:
Code: Select all
tar xvjf firefox-4.0.tar.bz2
Code: Select all
sudo mv firefox/ /usr/lib/firefox4
Code: Select all
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox4/firefox /usr/bin/firefox4
And I made an icon on my gnome-panel for it:
right click panel -> add to panel
custom application launcher
Name: Firefox 4
Command: /usr/bin/firefox4
and choose whatever icon you like
this way you can can keep your 3.x and 4.x installs of firefox and run either one. But they have to be run one at a time, but you can exit and switch back and forth if you don't like one or the other.
Something to tide you FF fanatics over until 4 makes its way into Mint's repository.
