Re: [hardy] How Do You Get Back to Firefox 2?
What I just now found was that when I swapped from 'Custom' back to 'Firefox' the links are now being launched. On my system (a Hardy upgraded from Gutsy), /usr/bin/firefox links to firefox-3.0 which links to /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b3/firefox.sh. I'm guessing the upgrade may have done something different than an original install. The path you gave does not exist on my system. ...Ken Matthew Nicholson wrote: > You should be able to launch URL's from any application just fine in > Firefox 3.

[hardy] How Do You Get Back to Firefox 2?
I made the mistake of upgrading to Firefox 3 Beta on Hardy. It has many many problems, but the main one is that you can't launch a URL from Thunderbird, or elsewhere. You have to copy&paste the URL into the browser windows. [ Are AOL folks having their revenge? ;-) ] Long story short, its too time consuming to 'test' this until this particular *critical* bug is fixed, so I want to regress Firefox back to version 2 so I have my clickable URLs that work. I think that including the Gutsy repository may be the way, but I'm afraid it will break something else in the process. Has anyone done this? If so, could you document how? Or is there a Firefox 2 package in Hardy that I'm just not seeing? ...Thanks, ...Ken -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
