new Firefox extensions

<< < (2/6) > >>

coreplayer2:
I'm glad you've found it useful, btw the latest version is available in the repo now

thane:
Yes, after using removing the old firefox-latest.tcz I downloaded firefox-getLatest.tcz and used it to update to Firefox 41.0.2. It worked fine. Note that the extension it created was firefox.tcz (not firefox-official.tcz) so I also removed  the old firefox-offical.tcz.

This is the latest Firefox-Extended-Service-Release.  A long lasting revision for
the repo, with less frequent updates therefore easier to maintain.

Could you please compile it with:


--- Code: -----enable-gstreamer=1.0
--- End code ---

?

That way Firefox would support MP4 playback via GStreamer (GStreamer and proper GStreamer plugins need to be installed of course):

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Supported_media_formats#Browser_compatibility

So, any chance you could do that?

Also:

firefox-getLatest.tcz is available in the 5.x repos as well as in the 6.x repos, but firefox-ESR.tcz is only available in the 6.x repos.

So, could you please submit firefox-ESR.tcz for the 5.x repos as well?

for those wanting the latest Firefox with local language support.
default settings will fetch latest Firefox version with locale support then builds and
installs the new extension.
In summary; firefox-getLatest.tcz builds a local personalized version of firefox.tcz

firefox-getLatest.tcz somehow does not seem to work.

When booting CorePlus-current.iso, then opening the app browser, then selecting firefox-getLatest.tcz, then selecting "Download + Load" and then clicking on "Go", it instantly says "Status: firefox-getLatest.tcz OK.", but nothing happens and Firefox is not installed.

Do you know what could be wrong there?

firefox-official.tcz has already been removed from the x86_64 repos.

But in the x86 repos it is still available. Could you please remove firefox-official.tcz from the x86 repos as well, since it is now deprecated?

That downloads the install script, you still need to execute it. Look under  Applications  in the desktop menu.

Okay, thank you, it's working now :).

So, firefox-getLatest.tcz is also built without --enable-gstreamer=1.0 (checked via about:buildconfig -> Configure arguments).

@ coreplayer2:

As already mentioned in #7, could you please build firefox-ESR.tcz and firefox-getLatest.tcz with:


--- Code: -----enable-gstreamer=1.0
--- End code ---

and also add firefox-ESR.tcz to the 5.x repos just like you've done with firefox-getLatest.tcz?

Regards
