But what's wrong with FF10? I use it and it's fine.

I agree. But the problem is, after i run the Firefox, plugins window is empty and Firefox looks ugly. Plugin dir is "/usr/lib/mozilla" i guess. Any suggestions ?linuxviolin wrote:Yes, Aurora is now 7.0a, i.e Firefox 7 Alpha, and Nightly (you can try/use it also if you are brave enough) is the future Firefox 8... A Beta of Firefox 6 is released. But I don't see the need for Aurora packages. You just need to download it from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/channel/, extract it somewhere in your /home and click on the file named "firefox" which is inside the folder created during decompression. You can make a shortcut on your desktop, in your menu or your panel if you want/like. Aurora updates itself automatically, if you check this option in the Preferences, or by hand with a click on "Look for updates" in the window "About Aurora" in the Help menu. There is an update every day. And Aurora will find and use your current Firefox profile in your system, in your /home. Really, a distribution package, whatever the distrib, a PPA or other is absolutely useless...
There is an add-on to install "incompatible" add-ons anyway. Moonlight works that way if you download the latest version from its website.Summersky wrote:moonlight is incompatible with firefox upgrade. Is there another program to use or should I look upstream to moonlight?
For years the whole 'Moonlightstory' is a very sad one, I have to say. Only in Windows (Silverlight) it is right.AlbertP wrote:There is an add-on to install "incompatible" add-ons anyway.

I have a number of FF versions installed manually but only my official/default version 12 seems to be able to "see" any of the plugins. How do I properly install FF 14 or tell my current manual FF 14 where to locate the plugins?Allan Parker wrote:As of June 2012, Firefox 14 beta is in the "Beta" channel, Firefox 15 alpha is in the "Aurora" channel, and Firefox 16 pre-alpha is in the "Nightly" channel.
Features planned for future versions include silent updating so that version increments will not bother the user, although the user will be able to disable that function.[84] A different looking user-interface called "Australis" is also planned.
And you made separate profiles for each of them (assuming you mean extensions as opposed to plug-ins)?Jeff11 wrote:...

Actually no, the extensions are fine.aes2011 wrote:And you made separate profiles for each of them (assuming you mean extensions as opposed to plug-ins)?Jeff11 wrote:...

The plug-ins should be in just one place and different browsers, let alone different versions of the same browser, should see them without difficulty.
Take for example, /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Seamonkey all see this plug-in.
