Howto: Install Firefox3 on aspireone Linpus

now I can't access my browser anymore!!

what happen if you do this command

#firefox

please back with the answer to help you

cheers Bromer

I'd be happy to try out the command, thanks for helping, but I've got another problem in the meantime.

First, I did get access to my browser again, by copying the setup-files from an SD-card to the netbook. However, I had to go to the "firefox.shellscript" file to activate the browser, because the icon on the desktop had vanished.

Now, if I turn on my acer aspire one, I get to see nothing but a black screen with the arrow of the computermouse. That's all, and it won't go any further than that.

I've tried F2 while starting up, and then I had to type in "current password", but I don't have any!
Then, it said "System will halt".

I thought it must have been some kind of virus, that must have come through with my SD-card, but I'm pretty sure it isn't.

I bought this netbook to learn Linux, and so far, I'm only disappointed . And all of this, only to try to get a higher version of Firefox. I've really become suspicious and extremely carefull now. I don't think that (if the netbook gets fixed and/or will ever start up again) I'd want to try install firefox again .

This problem is mostly happening when the battery hit about 30-40%

I right clicked to turn off the images because they are placed over top of the text so I could read the instructions.
Found that I had to go into preferences and click on exceptions to remove google double click so it allows the images to be displayed.
Why does it place the images over the text?

Hi!

Your instructions were perfect, and I even got the 3.5 version of Firefox. But then they released a fast safety bugfix 3.5.1. How do I upgrade to that, I imagine I should skip the first steps above, but I don't want to spoil anything. There is no choice to upgrade the version of Firefox from within itself.

I have followed your instruction and its work properly
thanks for guide us.

I solved my own problem (above) by opening Terminal and typing:
"sudo yum update firefox"

This gave me the update to Firefox 3.5.1.1 (and a warning it's not supported by Fedora, but it works)javascript:JOSC_emoticon("")

I've been trying for a long time to upgrade firefox on my acer aspire one, and these are the first set of clear instructions I've found.
However, I have a question: in step 2 where you say I need to ensure [remi] section has its enabled value set to 1 and [remi-test] has its enabled value set to 0 T
well on mine they are not (remi has enabled value set to 0 and remi-test has enabled value of 0).

How do I change this to move beyond this step and finally get firefox3?

Thanks

On mine i dont have anithing at the same step. Who can advise what to do? I deleted firefox 2 but cant install firefox 3. IT is dowmloaded but I cant install it.
