Title: Firefox 3.6 Post by: CNK on September 07, 2014, 11:33:21 PM A while ago I put the work into looking at what dependencies would be needed to install Firefox 3.5.16 on DSL, which would then allow it to be made as a package. I never finished (will one day), but I thought I'd post whatI got for anyone who wanted to finish the list before me.
The latest Firefox versions just won't work due to the old Kernel in DSL, but I use 3.6 on a WIndows XP PC (shudder) and it still works with the vast majority of websites, quite an improvement from V. 2 at the moment. It also offers some nice refinements such as a proper download manager. As I say, I haven't finished, but here' whatI've got. V. DSL means the version of a dependency included with DSL, note is made to dependencies in the MyDSL respository (mentioned in notes as "dsls"). V. Req. is the minimum required version for Firefox. Of course I've had to look at the dependencies for dependencies as well and these are shown as a branch from the original Firefox dependency. As you can see, xulrunner is a door to a world of unmets.
