| Firefox 3.0.3 (Official) for OS/2 Has Been Released |
|
|
|
Posted by Martin Iturbide - Sunday, 28 September 2008
Mozilla's Firefox 3.0.3 (Official) for OS/2 has been released. Firefox 3 is Mozilla's next generation web browser based on the Gecko 1.9 platform. You can download it here: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0.3/contrib/firefox-3.0.3.en-US.os2.zip This release fixed a problem where users were unable to retrieve saved passwords or save new passwords (bug 454708). Known problems in this release include: Printing to normal OS/2 printer queues is disabled. Printing operations will instead create a PDF file. PDF files can then be printed using Acrobat, Lucide, GSview, or Lucide (eCS). For more information and suggestions, take a moment to review the README.TXT file included in the archive. NOTE: This release requires the C runtime DLLs from Innotek. In the unlikely event that you do not already have version 0.6.3 installed, it is available with an installer here: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0_6_3-csd3.wpi NOTE: This release requires IPLUGINW.DLL to use the Java (not currently working) and Flash plugins. Available here: http://e-vertise.com/warpzilla/ipluginw20050915.xpi or here: http://download.innotek.de/javaos2/mozilla/ipluginw20050915.xpi NOTE: To have both Firefox, & Thunderbird in use at the same time (or ANY other Mozilla app) they *MUST* be at the SAME version level, or a mismatched DLL will still be in memory when you attempt to start a second Mozilla based program. The easiest way to get around this limitation, and use DIFFERENT version levels of Firefox, Thunderbird, Kompozer, etc., is with Rich Walsh's Run! utility. It is tiny, and VERY easy to set up. To make life even easier, I HIGHLY recommend that you download & use the Internet Application Integration utility from Chuck McKinnis, which actually contains the Run! utility, and sets it up for you, along with coordinating your web browser with your email client for "mailto" links, etc. You can find it here: http://7cities.net/~mckinnis/code/iai1090.exe Or, if you'd rather do it yourself, here is the Run! utility: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/os2/util/wps/run_075.zip Firefox extensions (add-ons) that add new functionality are available here: https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/?application=firefox Firefox themes (skins) are available here: https://addons.mozilla.org/themes/?application=firefox For release notes, and a list of new features, follow this link: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0.3/releasenotes/ The official Warpzilla homepage can be found here: http://www.mozilla.org/ports/os2/ If you have questions, or just want the latest, greatest tips for Firefox, Thunderbird, & Seamonkey, Steve Wendt's excellent "Tips For Warpzilla" page can be found here: http://www.os2bbs.com/os2news/Warpzilla.html For Firefox "Tips & Tricks", see: http://www.tweakguides.com/Firefox_6.html And finally, if you still have questions, or just want to participate in a Mozilla for OS/2 discussion forum, the Warpzilla newsgroup can be found here: news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.ports.os2 Regards, Sander From: Sander Nyman This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it >'; document.write( '' ); document.write( addy_text85787 ); document.write( '<\/a>' ); //-->\n This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Source: OS2VOICE.org ----------------------------------------------------- From: Sander Nyman This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it >'; document.write( '' ); document.write( addy_text85787 ); document.write( '<\/a>' ); //-->\n This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it In my post announcing the Firefox 3.0.3 release, I stated that: "This release requires IPLUGINW.DLL to use Java (not currently working)" That was incorrect. This release comes with a newer version of IPLUGINW.DLL included in the archive. It has been reported that the Java plugin is working with this version. Please do not use the older version. Thanks to Steve Wendt for the information. Sander --------------------------- (3) Comments |
