After a reboot in RAM I copied the FFox32 folder back to /root and gtk+3-3.8.2 seems gone from it even though it's in it b4 the crash ... Very wicked!
Then couldn't install it from PPM ...
A detail, I'd unplugged the stick after the reboot.

Hiya, Fred.
Thanks for this portable Quantum. I'm not normally a Firefox man as you doubtless know by now, but I have to admit to recovering some of the respect for Firefox that I lost many years ago. This Quantum is almost identical to Chrome in behaviour, etc; not sure whether that's a good thing, or bad...
Currently running at
59.02 in Slacko
5.7.0. Extracted in Downloads, then the resulting '
firefox32' directory placed in /opt (my favourite 'catch-all' for everything, really). I already had
gtk-3.0 installed from a previous exploit, so didn't need that.
Built a .desktop entry for Quantum in
/usr/share/applications (pointing to
/opt/firefox32/ff), stuck an appropriate icon in
/usr/share/pixmaps, ran '
fixmenus', restarted 'X'.....and she fired straight up, good as gold.
Thanks again. Cheers!
Mike.

Hi Mike, good to know it has your approval, I know indeed you're a "Chrome man"

@ Fred:-
Actually, now I think about it, I thought I may as well also make available the GTK3 'upgrade' I used for 570. It was in fact a .pet package put together (so I believe) originally for Precise 571. I forget the thread where I acquired it, but I
do remember credit should go to
perdido for giving me the link to it.
It's not as comprehensive, new, or large as your X-Slacko GTK3 SFS; probably because the 'buntu-based Pups tend to have quite a bit of this stuff included as standard. As I'm sure you're well aware, with Slackware being so much more conservative with what they include in the OS, you often need to track down everything
including the 'Out house sink' in order to get many things working.
However, this Precise package was good enough to get things working for me in 570 back when FireFox first moved to GTK3. Which being the case, it can't hurt to make this also available for download; 'choice in all things' being my motto!
For anybody who'd like to make use of it, you can find it here:-

Hi again, Fred.
Just FYI, I've turned this into a .pet, complete with the created /profile directory, a .desktop entry and icon (made for a whopping big package, admittedly), and installed it into Precise 571. Fired straight up, with everything set-up ready. Ace!
Thanks again.
(
EDIT:-) ....and ditto Slacko 560. Nice one.
(
EDIT_2:-) ....
and ETP's 'Chromebook Pup' (based on 571). Excellent!
Mike.

Thanks Mike !!
I've added a link (last EDIT) to first post, pointing to your gtk3 precise pet post.

No idea yet. I use this Firefox all the time and didn't experience something like that.
Can you give one or more url address of the sites when this happens ? So I can test that?

How much RAM do you have? How about swap or zram?
Some websites just suck down RAM and will cause firefox (or Chrome) to freeze. Is that what is happening?

It's 1.5 G, don't have swap now.
Yep, it slows down at first then I get the message, 'tab crashed'. More often it can't recover it. Mostly SM sites.

SM, you mean like facebook and twitter?
I bet you are just running out of RAM. So you run an adblocker. If not, ublock origin will block at least some of the crap.
You are in Debian Dog?? Create a swap partition for sure. Might try some zram too.
Even with 3 Gig of RAM, swap and zram, sometimes a page will just start sucking down the RAM and crash. Bad webpages are just the way it is sometimes.

Working fine in a EasyOS Pyro 64 container running as rover (restricted userid) with a knackered root userid (useless if escaped to). Even if sandbox level 3 set sound (youtubes etc.) is still heard fine.

'No idea yet. I use this Firefox all the time and didn't experience something like that.'
fred, mainly Social media sites, Twitter, FB.
I guess Dancytron suggested the cause, I observe the same symptoms.

Yes, probably the cause is as dancytron says, these modern browsers use a lot of RAM, 1.5 G is not much, so you need a swap partiition or a swap file. (zram may help also, don't know much about it)
Then when loading much "heavy" tabs, it will probably run slow, but when using enough swap, crashing can be avoided, I guess.

I created a pupswap file on the usb stick. Can I copy it in /root to use it while running in RAM?
I'm not so clear about it ...

I can't answer at the moment, sorry, maybe someone else can.
Or perhaps better create new thread to ask about it in Users section.

Updated to version 60.0.1, download links at first post.
I didn't change the security.sandbox settings, because this still seems to work fine for me:
Content of the file "ff4lxpup.cfg" (32-bit, for 64-bit the value 54 must be 16)
Code: Select all
defaultPref("security.sandbox.content.level", 2); // set new default value
defaultPref("security.sandbox.content.write_path_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");
defaultPref("security.sandbox.content.syscall_whitelist", "54");
defaultPref("security.sandbox.content.read_path_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");
But any suggestions are welcome !
EDIT: Just noticed
This Post, did some testing and it appears there's no special setting required anymore in "about:config" for sound to work.
So re-uploaded without any preconfiguration, new download links at first post.
Thanks OscarTalks !
