Upgrade Firefox Steps

[fritual]

Hi,
Firefox 43.0.1 bundled w/Plop Linux reports it's old and needs updating.
Firefox pre-compiled binary files:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

Firefox dependencies:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/47.0.1/system-requirements/

Q: Is there a tried-and-true HowTo?
thx

I assume, you mean for the Live Plop Linux.


Download Firefox for Linux (32bit or 64bit depending on what you need) from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
Extract the archive.

You have to uncompress the file ploplinux/opt.sqfs

unsquashfs opt.sqfs

Change to the directory 'squashfs-root' and remove the 'firefox' directory.
Copy the extracted 'firefox' directory from the downloaded Firefox archive to the 'squashfs-root' directory.

Remove the old 'opt.qfs'.

Compress the 'squashfs-root' directory.

squashfs squashfs-root opt.sqfs


Best regards

Elmar,
Live Plop Linux is correct.  Flash is not part of the firefox binary and must be downloaded from Adobe:

https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/


Suspect Plop Linux requires the Flash 11.2 for linux (tar.gz) 32-bit version.
Q: How's Flash installed correctly to get it to interface with firefox?
