Exactly, firefox has most likely not been installed correctly. 
Also remember that you can not have both firefoxESR and firefox installed at the same time.  firefox_getLatest will attempt to remove old versions if installed, however if you've manually downloaded firefoxESR afterwards then there may be a conflict.

firefox_getLatest is setup to be almost fool proof, but as always you can interfere with the install process if you're not that familiar with how TC installs applications.  firefox_getLatest iirc will not install firefox.tcz to the onboot list unless an older variant was previously installed there.

As Gerald suggested firefox hasn't been allowed to install correctly along with it's deps.  So to fix that please use "Apps" to remove any previously installed firefoxESR editions, then proceed to install firefox.tcz correctly to your "onboot.lst"   Or manually install for this session.   Either way, attempting to launch firefox without the correct path will most likely fail, as you've experienced using the file manager probably will not work as desired.

If you prefer to use the commandline, then use

tce-load -i firefox

remember to add firefox.tcz to your onboot.lst using Apps if you choose to have firefox loaded after each bootup.

good luck

Sorry, I did not make it clear. This is on TinyCorePure64-7.0. Right after booting from ISO, I goto Apps -> Select fastest Mirror -> search for firefox. I select firefox_getLatest.tcz. I select  "Download + Load" option and click Go. TCE: path shows as /tmp/tce/optional. After it says OK, I open terminal and type firefox_getLatest.sh. The output of this is what I attached in my previous post.

I am not adding firefox.tcz to OnBoot.lst as I guess should not matter as I am using this machine for just one boot cycle. In the sense, boot and load TinyCore from any computer, go to website, do something, shutdown computer.

I just repeated the same steps now, and I get this new message (I sweat I had not seen that before):
grep: /etc/sysconfig/tcedir/onboot.lst: No such file or directory

Doing: tce-load -i firefox shows firefox is already installed!

The ISO is not writable.  Use a standard disk based installation.

so..

I found that in this scenario booting to a tinycore64.iso (burned to a cd) the symlink required by Firefox is not being created.    though it works fine if installed to a USB drive (last time i checked).
 at the terminal, type
Code: [Select]
ln -s /lib /lib64then launch firefox


normally you would launch firefox_getLatest from the desktop menu, then after installing the latest (now 45.0.1) launch firefox from the wbar icon


I'm typing this from tinycore64 cd from where I installed firefox_getLatest, then created the symlink and launched firefox from the firefox icon

Thanks, I tried it again now using my USB drive and firefox_getLatest.sh was able to install firefox 45.0.1 and after reboot, firefox is working fine.

Your welcome

It should work from a cd as I've tested the script from many scenarios.  Maybe it is related to the file system, however now that I'm looking at the startup file I see where this needs work and will fix it ASAP

Updated "firefox_getLatest.tcz" extension submitted to x86 and x86_64 repo's.

Updates dep files for for addition of GTK3 and contains "lib64" fix for corepure64.



Script v2.2 is attached for your perusal or if preferred to update firefox.tcz (rather than wait for extension submission process)

firefox_getLatest.tcz should have "browser" in key section. When I want to check how many web browsers TC have in appbrowser, theres no firefox. Some new users may not know that firefox is possible with this extension.

Sounds like a good idea.

Perhaps one of the TC extension repo admins would like to change tags "firefox get latest" to "firefox get latest web browser" in firefox_getLatest.tcz.info for x86 and x86_64?

For the record, in the latest update to Firefox_getLatest.tcz I added "browser" to the tags as requested.

Inspired by this thread (as apparantly nobody else was), I added support in the firefox_getLatest.sh script for verifying the OpenPGP signature of the Firefox download to make sure that it was the file released by Mozilla and not one substituted by someone who has hacked into a CDN server or the internet connection.

To do this, you first have to manually save the latest key published on the Mozilla Blog to "/tmp/mozkey", then run:
Code: [Select]
gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ~/DOTgnupg/trustedkeys.kbx --import /tmp/mozkey
(replace "DOT" with a ".", the forum gave me server errors)

The "gpg" command is in the gnupg.tcz extension on x86_64. Just to confuse things, on x86 it's installed by gnupg.tcz as "gpg2", so use that instead of "gpg".

Now the "-g" option to firefox_getLatest.sh should check the signature and show an error if it doesn't match the downloaded file before it's installed.

The key is changed every two years, after which you have to add the new one.
