Linux Mint Forums

I just wonder why my Linux Mint 7 still has Firefox 3.5.1, while my Ubuntu 9.04 machine updated Fx 3.5 to 3.5.2 days ago. I thought Mint had the same repos as Ubuntu and added som extra repos as well.

We maintain our own Firefox packages
We have tried to fix the full screen flash problem - that's why it's delayed
It seems that may not be possible to include in the package but we're looking at it

Many are not using the Firefox 3.5 packages because of the regression with full screen flash. Firefox 3.5 is not even the default for Ubuntu 9.10 yet because of this.

How to fix the full screen Flash issue, in case anyone didn't see this already. I got this from another member here on the forums.

Use the following command, with your version of fire fox. Ie: Change 3.5.1 to 3.5.2 etc. Somewhere after the "#!/bin/sh" line and before any other non-comment line, add the line

Thank you for the replies.

@Lantesh: Thanks for the tip, but I guess "apt-get" isn't part of the code?

Oops. I must have had a brain fart. It's corrected now.

We are well aware of the tip from Lantesh, however it does not work in 64 bit

Husse, also this fix I posted only works as long as you don't update to a new version. Ie: If you upgrade from 3.5.1 to 3.5.2 then you have to apply the fix again. It's definitely not a permanent solution.

Well as you can see in twitter/identica we've released 3.5.2 and in the blog this workaround is described and also why we did not include it (64 bits)
