Firefox update killed Firefox
This mornings update to Firefox killed it on my machine. YMMV
This is a Frugal install on a 32 gig USB stick.
Hardware is an ancient Acer Aspire 5570Z with the 2 gig memory limit.
Previous working version of Firefox was 72 something.

I'm going to guess its the skia backend. Older puppy OS's generally use cairo. Also I note that glibC is 2.17... it could be that FF73 needs a newer version. 2.19 may not be enough... may have to go up to 2.25.

I'm not sure whether we should continue this discussion here or move to one of the others.
For the record, I'm on my desktop at the moment.

I have tested in a live session of slacko 6.3.2 and 5.7.1 the following sfs of firefox 73.0.1 running in a chroot jail from bionic light. Profile is in /cnt/usr/local/firefox/profile where you can copy current profile already used. The sfs is gzip compressed and about 250 Mb. I do not know how it can perform on old hardware. It shows in Internet Menu as Firefoxchroot. To close the chroot jail open a console and type:
Maybe the first attempt is in error. Restart x and close the chroot again. Use at your own risk with the obvious precautions.

I suppose it's time to install a newer version of puppy on a memory stick.jrb wrote:See my post Here about this problem.mgolden wrote:This mornings update to Firefox killed it on my machine.
The nice thing about puppy is it requires FAR less maintenance than Windoze.
