Hello, I've been stuck for a while with an old version of firefox, installed from local .rpm (I know.. I should have downgraded using yum, instead) and added a exclude=firefox to the relevant .repo file. I did that after a yum-update has brought firefox 52+, and all add-ons were deprecated because of their new add-on scheme. Today that all the add-ons I need are...

Back in the day (read: before the latest firefox update), I used to be able to ssh to a remote box, run 'firefox -local', and have that box fire up its own firefox session even if I was running firefox on the system from I which I sshed. Those days seem to be gone. No matter what I try, if I've got firefox running on my local deskt...

Hi all, Since the last upgrade to firefox-60.5.0-2.el7.centos.x86_64 on my CentOS 7, it is no longer possible to watch Netflix with my Firefox, it always says that "Firefox is installing components needed to play the audio or video on this page.

I realize that CentOS 4.4 is all about stability but I would still like to install Firefox 2.0 on it, since I am sharing my Firefox project across OSs on a multi-boot machine and the other OSs have Firefox 2.0. Is it possible to get CentOS 4.4 to work properly with Firefox 2.0 and, if so, does anybody know of a CentOS 4.4 repository which has a Firefox 2.0 RPM available.

Johnny's announcement refers to: firefox-45.2.0-1.el5.centos.src.rpm firefox-45.2.0-1.el6.centos.src.rpm firefox-45.2.0-1.el7.centos.src.rpm The linked rhel webpage refers to: firefox-45.2.0-1.el5_11.src.rpm firefox-45.2.0-1.el6_8.src.rpm firefox-45.2.0-1.el7_2.src.rpm These do not appear to be the same thing.

With Firefox updated to firefox-78.3.0-1.el6.centos.x86_64, I cannot get sound from Firefox. I've tried restarting pulseaudio, also logging out and logging back in. No help. Other A/V apps work just fine. Downgrading to firefox-68.12.0-1.el6.centos.x86_64 makes sound work again. For now, I've excluded v...

I just updated the "critical" firefox update, and it is *seriously* buggy. 1. I killed my old session, and started a new. Many (all?) tabs show *nothing* until I put my cursor in the URL bar and hit <enter> 2. I cannot open a link in an email in thunderbird. I click the link, and after a bit (30 sec? more?) a small windows tells...

I set up a CentOS desktop computer for my brother and his kids. When Firefox 3.5 came out he decided to download and install it like he would Windows (he doesn't yet understand the repository system). He's been telling me that it works fine, even though I was skeptical due to my experience with Firefox 3.5 on CentOS 5.3. Then today, he says, "Oh, by the way, th...

Upgraded Firefox due to today's security announcement. Closed Firefox and restarted but after about 20 seconds, Firefox stopped trying to start. No error messages displayed.
