It's no one fault but puppy, really. It's not the same as Ubuntu. If you can extract the debs and install those instead.

Re: Updating Firefox in Slacko
It isn't as simple, because of how varied Linux is. One package does not usually work on another system. There are ways to mitigate this e.g AppImage, statically linked musl but they all have their flaws. You'll likely have to build from source or search the forum.

Re: Getting current Firefox version to work on old Slackos
Build an up-to-date GTK libraries set. That's the only answer, or find someone who's packaged such libraries.

Re: opera browser via quickpet gives strange refusal
It'll either be in Puppy Package Manger (PPM) or is a squash file. You can unload it via the sfs load on the fly entry in the menu, under utility.

Re: Strange happenings with a wireless mouse.
I'd suggest making sure that you were already booted and using the savefile. As well, it may help to see /var/log/messages or dmesg
. It could have also incorrectly suspended itself (and alas never woke up again).

Re: USB devices on your Linux Box - what's there?
The linux terminology calls it a virtual terminal. An actual terminal is just what you see in a virtual terminal, except it takes up the entire display usually.

Re: Driver wifi
I believe its mistakenly marked as such in the browser, you should try using the built in file manager and then try 'running' the PET.

Re: memory fills up fast on nbn.
Access the URL I mentioned and look up memory. Disable the one that says cache.memory.enable.
You should try using Palemoon instead.

May need to adjust firefox about:config to stop using memory itself as cache.

Ok, this would certainly work with Bionicpup64 release on the main page, but this doesn't account for any changes to the kernel.

Re: Screen doesn't turn on after closing laptop lid for a few minutes
The lock icon when pressed and has no password will prompt for one to set the password for the 'lock screen'. You can right click and click the option to clear it.

Re: Screen doesn't turn on after closing laptop lid for a few minutes
You may try using cat /proc/acpi/wakeup
to see if something happens to be disabled as a wakeup device. (In this case, everything)
To enable one of the devices, you write echo <device name> > /proc/acpi/wakeup
If you use a USB, please do not enable XHC or EHC or USB.

Re: trackpad does not work focalpup 32 bit
Did you try pressing TAB to go through the buttons and press enter on the button for 'Dead Mouse?' when puppy greets you with the setup wizard?
