Firefox 3 Readme

If you going to install the Firefox 3 package, here are some things you would like to know.

Package Dependencies

You need the GTK+ packages provided on this site for Firefox 3 to run. So please make sure, you have installed them prior running Firefox 3.

Thunderbird Integration

If you want Thunderbird to open links in Firefox 3, open "Edit | Preferences", choose the "Advanced" tab, and click on the "Config Editor..." button. There, create a new string key named network.protocol-handler.app.http and set the value to /opt/guengel/bin/firefox.

Firefox Profile

Firefox 3 uses the same profile folder as Firefox 2 provided by Sun (~/.mozilla/firefox). Therefore, if you first start Firefox 3, it will update your Firefox 2 settings.

Plugins

The Firefox 3 package by default installs the Java plugin. If you want to install additional plugins, put them in /opt/guengel/lib/firefox-[version]/plugins, where [version] is the version of Firefox.
