Please update firefox

Postby moonman » Thu May 26, 2011 9:25 pm

Could firefox be updated to 4.0.1 ? 3.6.15 is slow and buggy (at least since the kernel or some other package was updated).

I tried to compile it myself but failed

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'checking size of int *... 0
configure: error: Unexpected pointer size
')

Don't know why it does it, but I don't want to spend too much time figuring out what the problem is, especially if Arch Linux ARM guys already figured it out before. :oops:

That's just the beginning of the issues I've been fighting since Firefox 4.0.0/Xulrunner 2.0.0, it's a whole new mess for ARM. It's a priority on my todo list, since many things depend on xulrunner.

Really? That's strange. Maybe they are trying to push their firefox mobile? :)

So we'll never have the newers version of Firefox?

My Raspberry-Pi must have a decent browser!

Chromuim is in the repos (or was for a good while at least)...

Well, it isn't in the repos anymore. How can we cross-compile it from x86_64?
