Firefox 4 is successfully installed on meego

Recently, a foreign user updated on listware that he has successfully installed Firefox 4 on meego. this is definitely a good news for meego. I hope the meego open-source community can quickly package Firefox 4 and add it to the default browser.

 

Firefox 4: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/4.0/releasenotes/

 

Install the test environment: fedora 14

 

Test System: meego 1.2 touchscreen netbook

 

Installation method can refer to: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-firefox-4-on-fedora/

 

The main steps are as follows:

1. Back up earlier versions of Firefox:

tar -cvzf $HOME/mozilla-firefox-profiles-backup.tar.gz $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/

2. Change to the root user:

su -## OR ##sudo -i
3. Install Remi Repository

After the installation is complete, the Internet access and browsing experience are very good, especially after installing the grabanddrag extension plug-in, I am also prepared to try it in the recent time, more test results will be presented to you at that time.
