<DIV dir=ltr>Good evening,<BR> <BR>I tried this again. I used the ftp instructions from <A href="http://www.ehow.com/how_2284571_firefox-via-ftp-windows-xp.html">http://www.ehow.com/how_2284571_firefox-via-ftp-windows-xp.html</A> and worked through the file system. I am not sure what 7.0b-whatever is about. So I went with 6.0.2. I downloaded the file into /tmp. I used the tarball extract instructions from <A href="http://sunfreeware.com/README.firefox6">http://sunfreeware.com/README.firefox6</A> I was surprised how easy it was. I typed firefox at the terminal and Firefox opened up. Very nice. Somehow, I don't think I should have had a real program inside a tmp folder. So where do you store your Firefox folder? Do you have it at the top level? Or do you have it inside /opt or another location?<BR> <BR>That is odd. There is an error message appearing in the same terminal window that I used to fire up Firefox:<BR> <BR> (Gecko:973): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to find default local directory monitor type<BR><BR>I am not sure what that is about. I look forward to your next message.<BR> <BR>Thank you,<BR> <BR>Fred<BR> <BR>

Just use the .tar.bz2<BR>> in case the pkgadd version doesn't work for you.<BR>> <BR>> > 5.

They contain libraries which are needed by<BR>> Firefox. In the invocation above, firefox-bin can't find some of these<BR>> required libraries.<BR>> <BR>> Sebastian<BR></DIV></DIV> </div></body>
