Odd. if you are up to date you should see from package
zlib-1.2.11-x86_64-1_slack14.2
ls -l /usr/lib64 |grep libz.so
... libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.11
... libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.11
... libz.so.1.2.11 -> ../../lib64/libz.so.1.2.11
(actual libz lives in /lib64)
(I realized I don't need the bad install USB anymore, so I reformatted
it and can now copy stuff from one machine to the other.)
bash-4.3$ ls -l /usr/lib64 | grep libz.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Nov 24 18:23 libz.so -> libz.so.1.2.8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Nov 24 18:23 libz.so.1 -> libz.so.1.2.8
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Nov 24 18:23 libz.so.1.2.8 ->
../../lib64/libz.so.1.2.8
bash-4.3$
and the latest version installed is:
mozilla-firefox-60.3.0esr-x86_64-1_slack14.2
That's what slackpkg search firefox shows.
I still get the same error message this afternoon as last night, after a
power down and restart.
You said you ran 'slackpkg update' then something is wrong since you
have the *old* version of zlib but the *new* version of firefox is
compiles against the *new* zlib-1.2.11
make sure /etc/slackpkg/blacklist doesn't have it blacklisted.
Every line in blacklist is commented out.
Run the
update and type "y" to force a reload of the package list.

It still shows 1.2.8, but what does the * mean?
if necessary, you can just download zlib-1.2.11 from the patches
directory or any Slackware mirror and run
upgradepkg zlib-1.2.11-x86_64-1_slack14.2.txz
BTW, at some point Thunderbird was installed. I didn't think it was one
of the included packages. However, there it was. I ran it and did a
minimal setup. It didn't work to send myself an email. But I copied
.thunderbird from my desktop machine to the laptop, fired up Thunderbird
again, set it so it wouldn't download anything, then sent myself a test
message. It just came through. So now I can email myself stuff instead
of using sneaker-net.
