Hi guru of OpenSolaris
Recently I want to upgrade the version of browzer, I have the Mozilla / Firefox
3.1 Beta (default version that come with OpenSolaris:
The procedure that I will use appear in the following link:
http://www.sunfreeware.com/README.firefox3
I didn't see a reply on the list so I assume maybe you fixed the
problem?
The steps I have for installing Firefox 3.6.3 differ from yours
and it worked without a hitch. The portion I have printed out...
Get Firefox from (sorry, plain text so probably not clickable)
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.3/contrib/solaris_pkgadd/firefox-3.6.3.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg.bz2
$ bzip2 -d firefox-3.6.3.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg.bz2
Then in a root shell or using pfexec ...
# pkgadd -d firefox-3.6.3.en-US.opensolaris-i386-pkg SFWfirefox
To add the Java and Adobe Flash plugins:
# ln -s /usr/java/jre/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so /opt/sfw/lib/firefox/plugins/
# ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so
/opt/sfw/lib/firefox/plugins/
(above should be one line)
I installed flash from the Package Manager using the Extra repo:
http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenSolarisInfo/How+To+Add+IPS+Repositories#HowToAddIPSRepositories-ExtraandSupportRepositories
(ach!, that was long)
To add SFWfirefox to your Desktop, copy
/usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop to
/usr/share/applications/SFWfirefox.desktop and change the Exec and
TryExec paths. I changed the name inside to something like Firefox 3.6
or SFWFirefox. Also made changes to the icon on the top bar.
I don't remember where I found these instructions but they were by
someone named John (groenv...@acm.org)
