SHIRE AS A PASSWORD ... WHAT? FIREFOX 3.5.x




You all know sure that Firefox has come to version 3.5.

This new version promises a greater ability to manage computer resources and finally we will not have 3 / 4 of RAM occupied by Firefox.


course improvements do not stop there, for a detailed list of improvements and additions, you can have a read here: Firefox 3.5.3 Changelog


Unfortunately Ubuntu is history, does not offer the ' major update to the release when the old version still offers support.

So our dear Ubuntu gives us no updates for 3.5.x. To do this There are at least a couple of ways, from a repository of Jaunty (yes, I'll explain further) and the other using a special script that makes the distro to upgrade firefox to version more recently.

start :-)


Firefox 3.5.x install from the repositories:


To date, the latest version of Firefox is 3.5.3, while the repository allow us to install "only "The 3.5.2. So, be warned.


Open Synaptic (System → Administration → Package Manager) and then try and install the following packages:
  • firefox-3.5 firefox-3.5-
  • branding firefox-3.5-gnome-support xulrunner-1.9.1
  • xulrunner-1.9.1-gnome-support
Once installed the packages, you'll have your Firefox Updated to version 3.5.2, the problem is that the installed version is in English, in Italian if you want you should go to Mozilla and from there take the language pack you need, because there is attention to the 32 that 64-bit.


Install Firefox 3.5.x script Journal:


As you read, in part just above, we find two installed Firefox, version 3.0.x and version 3.5.x, which, let's face it, is not very elegant.


The best thing would "update" firefox right? In this regard there is a script that automatically created specifically uninstall the installed version of firefox and updated with the latest.


Here is the description of this script that you can find on the home of the same:


A python script That Allows the user to install the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla SeaMonkey, Mozilla and Thunderbird on Ubuntu Linux and derivative distros, with minimal disturbance to the system.

So as you can read, does a lot of interesting little things.
From here you can download. Deb script for Ubuntu: done this open the terminal and run the following command:


ubuntuzilla.py

Questions proposals always answer "y".
After installation you will have your firefox updated to the latest available version. Another feature is that we update the script (using notifications Ubuntu) any other updates. Excellent!

Should you wish, for any reason, uninstall the version of firefox installed in this manner, the command to give, always terminal, is as follows:

ubuntuzilla.py-a remove-p firefox

Then to uninstall the script, given the traditional command:

sudo apt-get remove - purge ubuntuzilla

Fast and safe too.
For more information, this is the home address of the project: Home Ubuntuzilla


Small notes:


I have noticed that, whether you installed the new firefox from repositories and through the script, the yield was poor character (
at least it happened to me and some other person) . The solution is to give this sequence of commands in terminal:

  1. cd / etc / fonts / sudo mv
  2. conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf.
  3. sudo ln-s conf.avail/10-hinting-slight.conf conf.d /
  4. sudo mv conf.d/10-hinting.conf.
  5. sudo ln-s conf.avail/10-hinting.conf conf.d /
  6. sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig

Greetings to all ...
