Since someone mentioned upstream tarballs ... Don't forget to re-label for SELinux contents. One can use the "--reference" option in chcon to relable from /usr/lib/firefox-ver to, say, /usr/local/lib/firefox-ver that has been unbundled from tarball.
In reality, if one's Firefox/Thunderbird needs to be updated this much, Fedora becomes a consideration. Fedora in a VM under Red Hat Enterprise Linux is an option as well, when one wants newer features, but still wants a solid, platform base. ----- Original Message ---- From: Gary Gatling <[email protected]> I don't think it would be officially supported or anything but I do run the latest firefox and thunderbird from out of my $HOME directory in RHEL 5. The tarballs coming from downloads from mozilla.org. That way whenever a new version comes out from mozilla my local ($HOME directory) copies are automatically upgraded. (the apps just give me a little pop-up dialog telling me a new version is availible whenever its out, and would I like to restart...) I'm running thunderbird 3.1.2 and firefox 3.6.8 on RHEL 5 and CentOS 5 that way. They seem to work fine for me. YMMV. :) _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
