that looks good, I'm not seeing many problems re adding that installer to smxi, a packaged firefox solves a lot of issues.
I may add both, I'm not sure. As you can see above, there's a few tweaks required to make firefox the true system default, some of those I can't script though. Back to top |

Hey,h2. What if you maintained it?
In case you don't think it would be troublesome for you then you could offer that to Clem. Back to top |

Thinking again, there are all the localization packages too.
Anyway, if you're interested his email is root at linuxmint dot com Back to top |

no, I'm not going to maintain a package, it's too much work, you have to get changes out too often.
Plus I'd have to deal with learning all that stuff, not for me. I have enough to do with my other script stuff. Back to top |

Re: Switching from Debian Iceweasel to Firefox, permanently
I was trying to automate my firefox/iceweasel upgrades
So wrote a script: firefox-afterupgrade :: Code ::
# replace iceweasel by forefox # should be run after an iceweasel upgrade # from http://techpatterns.com/forums/about1435.html # Assuming downloaded into /opt # Only needs to be done once -- the first time # chown <username> -R /opt/firefox mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox-iw ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox However I dont like to get the diversion message. So I wrote :: Code ::
rm /usr/bin/firefox ln -s /usr/bin/iceweasel /usr/bin/firefox But I still get the diversion Back to top |

You can update these instructions, since 64 bit builds of Firefox and Thunderbird are available from Mozilla for quite some time already.
