Firefox ESR 64bit updater v5

Post by ozsouth »

Firefox ESR 64bit updater version 5 (checks for pulseaudio - must uninstall previous version).

NOTE: Your system needs minimum 2Gb ram (2Gb swap may do, but slow).

Sets up basic files needed to update & run Firefox ESR 64bit.
(Enables first install via internet download of 70+ mb also).
I made it as Firefox's auto-update doesn't work for me.

NEEDS APULSE installed unless you have pulseaudio. Issued as RUN-AS-SPOT. Runs from /opt/firefox.
- Briefly tested OK in ScPup64-20.06. Use at own risk.

To install, first uninstall any other version of Firefox ESR 64bit updater (via package manager),
then remove any other Firefox (may have to remove /home/spot/.mozilla , if previous version old),
then click on .pet in ROX-Filer. Sets entries in Internet menu, & makes Firefox ESR 64bit the default browser.

Must then run Firefox ESR 64bit updater from Internet menu. Will download & install latest Firefox ESR 64bit.
Can take a few minutes to do, depending on internet speed. Will display 'DONE' when finished.

When Firefox prompts for a future update, decline, close it & run Firefox ESR 64bit updater from Internet menu.

ScPup64 20.06 needs gtk3 - is here: https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linu ... 2404.7.pet
ScPup64 20.06 needs xkbd libs (see below)
