You mean HP Mini 210 don't you?

Basically an Eeepc.

I have the Acer variant.

The newer Dpups by Ttuxxx and Radky run on them but
not as fast as Lucid.

I have aa preconfigured version of FireFox27.
It has many things set up for security and privacy.
This is a simple zipped file that you put in root and then extract there. A hidden folder named .mozilla contains everything. Drag the Firefox gear icon to the desktop for simple startup.

latest version is HERE.

Removal is simple, just remove that .mozilla file you installed and remove the Firefix gear icon from the desktop.

BTW, you should remove the zipped file when done installing.

Hi, 8Geee,

Thanks for that link. I've downloaded the file but haven't installed it yet. A couple of questions.

Not sure how Firefox IDs their versions, but 27 (at least in Windows) would appear to be quite dated. Is this a current-enough version of FF to do all the TLS handshake stuff and play current video protocols without fussing with it much?

Also, the instructions say something about backing up the existing Puppy Mozilla file, as this installation overwrites it. Am I missing something here? If this browser turns out not to work on this HP 210, would I be able to remove it easily, as you have outlined, and try another?

Thanks for your help!
