Hi guys!

I'm currently using firefox-1.5.0.6.uci and it works good. But if someone is inclined and have the skills (which I lack) wouldn't it be nice to have the most uptodate version of firefox for DSL. That's what I think at least. So please create this extension someone!

Have fun out there in cyberspace (I have),
meo

There is already a Firefox 2.0 in the testing area, and it's even compiled so that it works with stock DSL! Seems to work fine as far as I can tell, but unfortunately it doesn't have symlinks for the java runtime environment (DSL's uci ext.).

echo "

All you have to do is save it in a text file called firefox.sh.
Open EmelFM and find that file.
Write chmod a+x firefox.sh on the lower command terminal.
Then write ./firefox.sh to start executing the script that will download and install Firefox.

Well reidar!

It didn't exist until a couple of days after my request. Furthermore I have used it every day since it appeared in the myDSL repository.

Have fun,
meo
