greetings, i have 2 install of sl 5.4.
in this version i updated firefox from 3.0.19 to 3.6.9, which has been nothing but problems. in other install of 5.4, i did not allow update. firefox runs starts slower, will not open a url when *all* kde settings show firefox as default browser. sites take longer to load. in closing firefox; 1] with either 'X' in upper right, 'file > quit' or <ctrl+q>, i get a window telling me that 'fuelApplications' script is still running. 2] _sometimes_, maybe 20%, selecting 'continue' will close firefox without locking desktop. 3] selecting 'ignore' / 'close anyway', what ever it is called, will not. 4] using <ctrl+alt+esc> will close firefox with either of above failures 1, 3, or via 4, when firefox is reopen, i get the da window 'this is embarrassing'. what should be embarrassing, i that authors screwed up as they did. i know and understand security reasons for updating to 3.1.9, but with all of problems with 3.1.9, i would rather take my chances with 3.0.19. because i still have 3.0.19 in other install, can i simple delete '/usr/bin/firefox' and '/usr/lib/firefox-3.1.9/*' and then copy over old '/usr/bin/firefox' and '/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.*/*' files? tia. -- peace out. tc,hago. g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today. ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it. to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ ****
