If you need help I'll do what I can. This works really well though. _________________

I much appreciate the info.
Xandros recommends CrossOver.
This was on the Mozilla website:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Linux
Please note that Linux distributors may provide packages for your distribution which have different requirements.
* Firefox will not run at all without the following libraries or packages:
o GTK+ 2.10 or higher
o GLib 2.12 or higher
o Pango 1.14 or higher
o X.Org 1.0 or higher
* For optimal functionality, we recommend the following libraries or packages:
o NetworkManager 0.7 or higher
o DBus 1.0 or higher
o HAL 0.5.8 or higher
o GNOME 2.16 or higher |

Using the above instructions I run Firefox 3.5.8 on Xandros 4 with no issues. I have had 3.6 running but many of my extensions hadn't been ported and I noticed some weird java issues ( the java issues were on all distros not just Xandros ) that made me roll back to 3.5. It works pretty well and is consistent I have done this on fresh installs and well established boxes. _________________

| I just have to wonder... does Xandros Networks have any intention to upgrade the Firefox browser in the near future? |

Xandros is pretty much out of the desktop Linux business. My guess would be that they have no intention to upgrade it ever. _________________ I refuse to live in a country like this - and I'm not leaving. - Michael Moore |
