I just never would have looked! In the past I've found it non-trivial to find the sources I need from Mozilla, as opposed to the OSUOSL down the highway. Even if I were a developer willing to suck down the whole current development tree with mercurial, that wouldn't be what I need. Thanks for demonstrating it may be easier than I'd experienced in the past. > https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/c64aa77208a6 And with that I'm happy to report it built successfully! 8-) It was a near thing though! I began with 4.5GB of free disk space--after making room because an earlier attempt did run out! Somehow I'd overlooked that little requirement. It finished with 414MB to spare! 8-o My installation binary TGZ file is 68MB! It did pass an initial "smoke test", but is hardly usable until I get the javascript plugin compiled! Errm, 8-10GB? Dang, I've only got a 9.4GiB partition! Guess that's another detour. 8-( > I also worry about your phrase "next one up or down the series" - > always use the latest, whether you are using regular firefox or > the esr. One step at a time, I fear. I can't keep up with Mozilla--this is 15 on my "daily driver" (LFS-6.6, BLFS-6.3 mostly). > > Yes, using google in a text browser can be "extremely unpleasant", but > at the risk of conflating two threads I have a practical solution.

FF has always been a bit of a problem, since I refuse to use their bloated prebuilt binaries. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
