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.

dsl@Eliza:~/.fluxbox$ /opt/firefox-1.5/firefox

(firefox-bin:4733): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders': No such file or directory

(firefox-bin:4733): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders': No such file or directory

(firefox-bin:4733): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders': No such file or directory

(firefox-bin:4733): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules
were found. Pango will not work correctly. This probably means
there was an error in the creation of:
'/etc/pango/pango.modules'
You may be able to recreate this file by running pango-querymodules.

(firefox-bin:4733): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

(firefox-bin:4733): Pango-CRITICAL **: _pango_engine_shape_shape: assertion `PANGO_IS_FONT (font)' failed

Pango-ERROR **: file shape.c: line 75 (pango_shape): assertion failed: (glyphs->num_glyphs > 0)

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

3. got to frefox site and download firefox->
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/

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. Enjoy
