John Vivirito: I only asked for backporting the single most prominent mozilla app, firefox, so not backporting *most* mozilla apps should not exclude this one; and agreed: it is not a good idea to backport an unstable release, but IMHO it *is* a good idea to backport the long awaited *stable* 3.5 release (not the shiretoko!).
Fortunately it worked for me just to expand the Linux package from mozilla.com to /usr/lib, rename the firefox dir to firefox-3.5, create a symlink /usr/bin/firefox-3.5 to /usr/lib/firefox-3.5/firefox. The symlink /usr/bin/firefox, up to then pointing to firefox-3.0 and now to firefox-3.5, allows to switch between the versions that share a common profile. The majority of users however would need a more official way through the package management I guess. -- Please backport firefox-3.5 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395167 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backports Testing Team, which is subscribed to Hardy Backports. -- ubuntu-backports mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
