How to Install LibreWolf on EasyOS?

Post by MildWild »

Hello,

Can anyone tell me the best way to install LibreWolf onto my EasyOS Daedalus-series 6.5.3 please?

Thank you very much,

MildWild

The easiest way:

Download the appimage from: https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/2438 ... 4.AppImage

Once downloaded move it to your desired folder or place (I moved it to "/files/portable" the place where I have my portables and AppImages.

Click on it and run it.

That's all, I hope it helps you.

___________________________________________

Once you did it you can use it without problems , but to be more effective you can modify the file ".jwmrc-tray" and add a command like this:

<TrayButton popup="LibreWolf" icon="PUT HERE THE ICON YOU WANNA USE">exec:/files/portable/LibreWolf.x86_64.AppImage </TrayButton>

So you have a direct access to this file.

Only as suggestion:

I am using Mercury Browser and I love its speed in F96CE_XFCE_FUSILLI
It is another firefox fork, optimized for speed.- If you have enought time give it a try.

Long time LibreWolf appimage user here. I just booted up the portable Mercury, whoa that launches instantly. I'm gonna play with this one awhile.

Easyos has appi, an appimage package manager. Apps in easyos can be installed to run as their own user rather than root. Check the repo for librewolf and perhaps request it be added to the repo if not already present.
or ask here
viewtopic.php?t=13511
if librewolf is not in the Daedalus repos.

Hello pp4mnklinux,

Your solution worked perfectly. I'll check out the Mercury Browser as well.

Thanks! :D

This Mercury Browser rocks hard. It's like LibreWolf, can be set up with all the same security features, but it's more economical on the screen real estate and faster.

If you go into about:config on both browsers and set the resist.fingerprinting settings the same, and I always turnoff the dom.vr and occulus settings, you get the same results.

I also am a big fan of the Umatrix addon, which can be set to break most websites straight away and let you decide what to allow.
