Mozilla-FireFox Version 3.6.24 Release 0.1-mdv2011.0 March 2012 compiled for Mandriva 2011 x86_64 by Robert M. Stockmann (stock@stokkie.net) The open source browser Mozilla Firefox Version 3.6.24 is migrated to Mandriva 2011 x86_64. For that to work several development libraries need to be installed (see the downloads). But that is not the issue here. Installing firefox-3.6.24-0.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64 is rather straight forward : 1. rpm -e firefox (as the current installed version is most of the time version 8.0 ) 2. install xulrunner : rpm -Uhv xulrunner-1.9.2.24-0.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm \ lib64xulrunner1.9.2.24-1.9.2.24-0.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm 3. install the browser : rpm -Uhv firefox-3.6.24-0.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm (if it complains about lib64xulrunner1.9.2 being missing, just add --nodeps) rpm -Uhv firefox-3.6.24-0.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm --nodeps Here's an example logging : [root@acer20 ~]# rpm -q -a | grep xul [root@acer20 ~]# rpm -q -a | grep firefox firefox-8.0-0.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64 [root@acer20 ~]# rpm -e firefox [root@acer20 ~]# sync [root@acer20 ~]# rpm -Uhv xulrunner-1.9.2.24-0.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm lib64xulrunner1.9.2.24-1.9.2.24-0.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm warning: LOOP: warning: removing lib64xulrunner1.9.2.24-1.9.2.24-0.1.x86_64 "Requires: /usr/lib 64/xulrunner-1.9.2.24" from tsort relations. warning: removing xulrunner-1.9.2.24-0.1.x86_64 "Requires: lib64xulrunner1.9.2.2 4 = 1.9.2.24-0.1" from tsort relations.
