It works on dsl 0.9.2 Made a link on the desktop to the directory of the new firefox version (it's hd-install)This is what I get when trying to update to firefox-1.5 in 2.4. I have the dependent packages loaded on my system.

The standard firefox 1.5 download requires gtk2 which is not part of dsl. I would suggest you use the extensions that provide such capabilites.
Maybe I am missing something but I thought that gtk2-0705.dsl provides me with that functionality and I have that loaded.
dsl@Eliza:/mnt/hdc3$ tar -ztvf gtk2-0705.dsl | grep gdk-pixbuf.loaders
does not return anything.
Maybe I misunderstand what I need loaded or am not correctly installing it.Man i can't beleave you still ain't got it. Lets go step by step->
1. click on myDSL browser icon > click on Gtk2 > click on gtk2-0705.dsl.info > click download.
2. right click the desktop > MyDSL > Update_to_GTK2
4. open emelfm highlight the firefox.tgz > right click > actions > unpack You should now have the firefox folder(lets test it) click on it to go inside you should see a executable named " firefox " click on it. firefox should load.
5. that's move it to the right place. use emelfm super user(right click the icon) on the left side should be your new firefox folder on the right you want to go to /usr/local you should see a firefox folder there click on it and in the middle select rename, change it to firefox.old. now click on your new firefox and select move you shold see the little clock while it's moving then you should see the new firefox folder above the old one.
6. that's it done just use the regulaer firefox icon to launch. EnjoyNext Page...
