Joop, please try not to spawn more issue tickets at GitHub: there are evidences there is nothing wrong with Firefox port regarding the download problem, but your environment is screwed up.
I want to strongly discourage spending
porters' time on solving problems in a user's environment, because this time may be spent... you know... on porting. Which is good for everyone, not just for that one user.
Joop, I highly suggest you to open a new thread on OS2World forums to ask for assistance in maintaining your system.
I suspect, if you declare your problems in a clear and non-offensive manner, there is a high probability of volunteers to come up without closing your issue tickets.
I will gladly participate in discussions to help you solve the problem.
There was
a new thread spawned by Eirik Romstad for RPM, dependencies, updates, etc discussions. I suggest everyone to move there for discussions on those subjects to keep this, let me recall,
Firefox 31.8.0 Beta 5 - First Impressions thread clean.
Let me also summarize: the port is awesome!
I would like to thank everyone who participates in this awesome work!
There is also an option to
donate to bww bitwise works GmbH.
They currently also work on
SWT/Eclipse and
VirtualBox ports, and they keep the work open!
