Firefox beta?

[melltuga]

Is it possible to install the Firefox Beta in LMDE? I've been googling around but couldn't really find anything of use.

And another thing that's been bugging me for a long time; when I'm trying to remove mint-stylish-addon and the mint-search-addon synaptic wants to remove mint-meta-common and mint-meta-xfce as well. Is there any way around this? I know that I can just disable these addons in Firefox, but is there a way to delete them?

Thanks in advance,

mT

For the firefox beta you would probably have to download it from mozilla, extract it and use it (you can use /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop from the Mint package by just editing the paths for the 'Exec', 'TryExec' and 'Icon' keys - so if you remove the firefox package make a backup of that file beforehand).

As for the meta-package, you could drop to the command-line (logout), uninstall those packages, then reinstall all the dependencies of mint-meta-common and mint-meta-xfce

As it outlines the How-to: for installing Firefox-Aurora in both Mint (Ubuntu) and LMDE(Debian).
The procedures are different for each. But it is easily 'do-able'
