I have recently came across a free and open source project called
Swiftweasel http://sourceforge.net/projects/swiftweasel . It is an
optimized build of Firefox with free to use branding. It has builds of
its 2.0.0.3 version available as deb files for ADM64 and i386. They

IMHO relying on other distributions to help keep the code base of
Firefox 1.5 up to date is a prescription for disaster. When the failure
happens, and it will happen (2 years is to long a time) it wont be the
other distro's that will look bad, but Ubuntu. It may appear to some
people that Ubuntu

I hope you don't mind if i dig this topic up. According to
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
FF 1.5 will be supported until April 24, 2007 with security and
stability updates. They recommend strongly to upgrade to Firefox 2.
I don't want to discuss the topic if and why and how we

So can this bug be reassigned to what ever project would have the scope
and authority to create a firefox2 program that doesn't fight with the
system's Firefox 1.5? I punt bugs to other groups all the time.

Hi there Douglas.
As John's stated, it's not possible to backport firefox without
backporting a lot of different applications with it.
These applications depend on having certain versions of system libraries
in certain places.
The way backports works is to update packages and replace them, not
As a part of the Ubuntuforums.org staff, I fully understand the user demand for Firefox 2 in Ubuntu repositories, but as I've said before, it's not technically feasible. Remind users that for Linux, Firefox is much more than just a browser... it is also an HTML rendering engine used by other

You'd have to backport monodevelop, yelp, liferea, galeon, epiphany, and
openoffice.org(?). Firefox is too big and interconnected with many other
things.

this point due to extension compatibility.
Also, Firefox's official binaries are quite
