Bringen Sie Firefox 2 in Ubuntu 8.04 robusten Reiher an

Vorbei bekanntgegeben Saad Hamid am 4. Mai 2008

Ubuntu 8.04 robuster Reiher hat mir eine gute Zeit kürzlich außer der Netzgrasenerfahrung gegeben. Firefox 3 Beta5 ist Ubuntu 8.04 in der Endrunde als das Rückstellung web browser obwohl sein nicht beständiges eingeschlossen. Vor allem hält sein nicht sogar kompatibles mit Wordpress 2.5 und, Sie mit neuen Problemen jetzt und dann abzuhören.

So ist was die Lösung? Entweder erhalten Sie Oper für Linux oder bekommen Sie das alte und mächtige Firefox 2 zurück. Viele Benutzer denken, daß, da Firefox 3 Beta5 in der abschließenden Freigabe von Ubuntu eingeschlossen worden ist 8.04, das so vermutlich robust ist, es keine einfache Weise gibt, sie und Firefox 2 anstatt anzubringen aber in Wirklichkeit loszuwerden sein sehr einfaches, so zu tun.

Gehen Sie zu den System → Leitung → Software-Quellen und stellen Sie Sie, allen Softwarepaketbehältern ermöglicht zu haben sicher. Jetzt öffnen Sie den synaptischen Paket-Manager und suchen Sie nach den folgenden Paketen.

  • firefox
  • firefox-3.0
  • firefox-3.0-dev
  • firefox-3.0-gnome-support

Recht klicken Sie an alle diese Pakete und „kennzeichnen Sie für Abbau“. Finden Sie jetzt die folgenden Pakete und das rechte Klicken, „für Installation zu kennzeichnen“

  • firefox-2
  • firefox-2-gnome-support

Klicken trifft einmal zu und andererseits trifft Klicken zu. Dieses entfernt Firefox 3 Beta5 und downloadet und bringt Firefox 2 an. Das web browser kann Anwendungen → Internet → Firefox 2 vom web browser dann erreicht werden

I have installed Hardy Heron through wubi along with Vista. I have installed firefox 2 as you have mentioned. Now installation of google toolbar fails with firefox2 with error -203. I dont know whats wrong here.

    Darshak, I had the same problem and it was that something in the ~/.mozilla/ dir was only compatible with firefox-3 so I blew that dir away since its just profile stuff and it was a new install anyway. I ran firefox-2 again and it was happy.

    @Darshak You need to do the complete removal as suggested by Michael. Possibly look in your home directory and remove any folders for firefox there.
  • I do not provide my names
    Darshank, I'm having the same problem. I look at the Ubuntu forums and half the time the people answer the wrong question.

    @Darshak:

    After getting back to firefox-2 with this method. I managed to install the add-ons making a new user profile in firefox-2.

    In case that you have not tried yet, here it goes:

    run firefox with

    $ firefox-2 -P

    Create a new profile named "Firefox2" (or any other name)

    and then make sure to launch firefox now with

    $ firefox-2 -P Firefox2

    That worked for me.

    @Darshark:
    Before install FF2, search for every folders lft by FF3 ( usr/lib/firefox ), delete all. In home folder ther will be one that is hidden. Delete all. And then install FF2
  • borras

    I had the same problem. It is because Firefox 3 is still installed and Firefox 2 and 3 use the same .firefox folder to store their data. So essentially, it is trying to install the add-ons on BOTH 2 and 3, and since it doesn't work on 3, it refuses to install.
  • @nikonian
    Same here. Problems eith firefox-gnome-support package when trying to install FF2.
  • Hi,
    I had the same problem, firefox 2 does not run, neither extensions.
    I solved it removing the firefox lib directories:
    rm -r /usr/lib/firefox
    rm -r /usr/lib/firefox-addons

    Regards!
  • I removed firefox 3 and installed 2 because I use a lot of plugins and very few were working under v3.

    I used a similar process to the original article. The details are described on http://notatplay.blogspot.com/2008/05/ubuntu-80...

    I didn't need to remove any directories. I especially did *not* remove the ~/.mozilla/ dir which has got all of the profile details in it.

    Looks like a partial upgrade removed FF3...I had to install 2, it wouldn't let me install 3 at all! Interesting. I haven't found out why yet.
  • Don Birdsall
    The whole thing is too messy. I gave up and installed Flock. All of the Firefox extensions that I use work in Flock too, and the browser is just as fast.

    I had to abandon FF3 because of system freezes and Mozilla is not fixing the bug until "later this year."

    THX, before i run a FF2 from WINE emulator, but that is so much better.

    Hi,

    The problem Darshak, Dave and others mentioned above appears to be due to a problem in the extensions.rdf in your home directory's .mozilla sub-dir. I found this bug post https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firef... and the workaround of removing only the extensions.rdf not the entire .mozilla dir worked for me.

    I had already removed firefox 3 though and since both 2 & 3 use the same dir you may find the problem reoccurs if you decide to keep firefox 3.
