I will edit this, I better have a look I suppose

LinuxUser01:
That XFE comes with its own zip/unzip feature. It would of been helpful if it was accessible in the TC5.0 Apps Browser since i will need to delete a file and unzip another. I think that firefox-24.0/tar.bz2 file is the reason why rebooting is taking so long. Does this TC come with its own zip/unzip commands through the terminal by any chance? How about deleting a file through the terminal? Thanks in advance.

Did you read this part of the script running and did you understand persistence wiki?

--- Quote ---For local choice,  be aware that you have a large bz2 file
   in your home folder and a large sub-folder. You may like to
   delete the bz2 file if script works.

   Suggest you read the wiki on persistence and what effect will
   occur to have large files in your backup.

   .cache is already excluded from your backup

2) If in doubt just delete the bz2 file, or move it onto an usb stick etc

3) flash will not work on 5.x.....I just did a few simple things
/home/tc/.mozilla  create plugins folder
moved libflashplayer.so there and made it executable

restarted wolf which now ......and only now ....complains missing XPCOM
and link says that is a part of xulrunner

and so we have google
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65846

4) xfe is offtopic but you will see a recent post of someone submitting it

5) xulrunner is clearly ontopic....for adobe flash users and another post shows someone is building that as well

VERDICT
You will not be able to run flash until XPCOM is working in 5.x

As I said I don't use flash....there are alternatives to it depending on what you are doing.

I suggest you download and consider having onboot app = xarchiver
or search APPS for zip and you will see zip-unzip

good luck

Flash actually does work with default Firefox extension on 5.x.

flash11.tcz includes
libflashplayer.so (linked to "/usr/local/firefox/plugins/" and "/usr/local/firefox-official/plugins/" )
libflashsupport.so (linked to "/usr/lib/")

LinuxUser01:
Yes, that is how i found out about firefox-24.0/tar.bz2 that might be creating the issue with the backup taking too long. Yes, i read on the XFE thread on how it will hopefully be submitted soon. Not familiar with xulrunner and XPCOM. I just use flash for simple things like youtube. Thank you for all of your replies. I'll probably just keep on using TC 4.7.7 until all of this gets squared off.
