Thanks for this thread. I've used Swiftfox in the past and know that it is good. I'm downloading this latest version (the tarball) now.

yes , lobster.
the installer worked well and easy for me on several machines with several linux flavors.I'd fully encourage its inclusion in any new puppy instead of sea monkey though I think I read that the author(?) Jason ---- is keeping a proprietary lid on this browser.

Can't Install to Puppy 4.3.1
When I just ran the installer the terminal screen said I needed a password to install to /opt. I though in Puppy I was running as administrator; I don't have a password.
Both the extracted files and the installer are in my /mnt/home/swiftfox folder.

Swiftfox pet for puppy 4.3
Could someone please make a Swiftfox .pet
I tied this in Xubuntu and it worked great.
Please, Can anybody tell how to install it in Puppy Linux?
You say it is great here but please tell us how to install it and enjoy it.
There are deb and tarballs but I do not know how to install any of them.
Thank you guys for your effort.

Hi,
I'm not sure that it runs in 4.3 but the tarball's your best bet.
Swiftfox tarballs are optimised for differing processor families. Download the file appropriate to yours (mine is i686) which will be something like swiftfox-3.5.6-processor)-tar.bz2.
When the file's been downloaded, unbzip the file with the command
bunzip2 swiftfox-3.5.6-processor).tar.bz2
and then untar the file thus;
tar -xvf swiftfox-3.5.6-processor).tar
.
(You can do all this in one command, but I do things the hard way) .
That will give you a swiftfox directory in Puppy. Click on the swiftfox file
in the directory and it should work; if not you may have to change the file permissions to make it executable.
Best,
CP .

I've just tried the latest one, and no luck unfortunately; even in Puppy Dingo 4.30, it seems to lack a file called libdbus-glib-1.

Good call! If you're using Swiftfox exclusively in Puppy, I'd recommend getting it from the 412 Collection site, not least because that page also contains a link to a file containing the missing dbus-glib files (for those who don't have them);
http://www.412collection.co.uk/internet.php
Update; unfortunately I can't use it in 4.3 as it crashes, leaving an "illegal instruction" message.
