problems with firefox

[beta-tester]

hello,
i have TC11 x86 installed on an USB memory stick.
i installed the package firefox-ESR. after installing a new firefox icon appeared. but when i try to open firefox-ESR nothing happens.
i also tried to install the package firefox_getLatest and run that script... but even then firefox does not open.
when i try to open firefox from the termonal window, i see the message:

Code: [Select]

Illegal instruction
is it possible, that the package is for x64 only?
how can i get firefox-ESR working on TC11 x86?

What cpu are you using? Does it support sse2?

What cpu are you using? Does it support sse2?

oooh, what i am using here is an pretty old embedded machine with an old x86 CPU

Code: [Select]

vendor_id: CentaurHauls
cpu_family: 6
model: 9
model_name: VIA Nehemiah)
...
flags: ... sse ...
...
but no sse2

So I would guess that pre-built versions of firefox no longer support non-sse2 cpu's unfortunately.

I believe there is a way to fetch earlier versions with the getfirefox extension.

that makes sense...

no, i don't want to try to dig deeper... i will see later, if the installation will work on a modern PC, but at the moment i need the TC11 x86 USB stick on that old machine.
this old machine is the only one i have to access my old parallel IDE HDD, floppy drives and using old matrix dot printers ... 

thank you Juanito for the information and you help.
