Have you run firefox from console (i.e type firefox from console) to see what happen with your firefox?Brown Mouse wrote:Yes I tried a restart.I'm back to using 3.0.11 now which works but crashes.I never have had any luck with Firefox in Puppy 4..2.1 and I don't understand how to open it in a terminal?
I also use 'Gnome' with Firefox 3.5 and it runs a dream.

This is not a real problem...the firefox lib path is added at runtime but the puppy package manager cannot know this.This saves time for newbies to Puppy who are looking for an "executable" for Firefox...but I am on 4.2 and it does show quite a lot of dependencies.
So I prefer to just use the extracted files.
Neat..I still use it on my regular setup. It has the same html renderer as firefox 2 but a simpler interface and less frilly functions so is compliant enough for most uses.added firefox 1.5.0.12 for those nostalgic puppy users. Smile
usually any password on a puppy site is due to stop spam bots. We had very large issues in the past.weffy wrote:Why am I always asked for a username and password to download something from this site? Is there another site I can go to to get 3.5?
