Now I got it, I think. You mean network_tray. I dont include it to my builds.

But...this should work:

Hi Pemasu:
I am still enjoying Polarpup-005 on my Thinkpad R60 laptop. Lately Firefox was updated automatically to version 10. It is working OK. However, the flash player was not updated and FF is now incompatible with this old version of Flash player. How can I update the flash player? Polar 005 doesn't have a "get flash player" tool built in. Could you please help.
Thanks!
P. S., BTW, I also enjoy Snow puppy 014 (best fit) on my older Thinkpad 600X.

Try this pet. I dont know if something is missing. but you know soon.

Install the pet and launch in console: getflash

That way you know if it errors and it give you some error message which you can post if it does not work.

I dont get an idea what didnt work from that code post. But I will create a pet for you which installs the latest flash. As you know....it was not intentional that you lose your existing flashplayer and dont get newer one.

I will boot Polarpup soon also and check which version of getflash works with it and if Polarpup needs some missing fix.

Okay. I believe you have the flashplayer installed and updated to the latest. It just is non functional without my firefox-fix pet.

Uninstall the previous flashget pet and install this new one. It has the version I use in dpup exprimo. It works. I have tested it in polarpup and I post from it with firefox 10 and latest flash.

You can launch it...it takes some time before the box appears. It shows if you have flash installed and the version also. If not...it tells you that. Install flash if it shows you dont have flash and after installation close the box.

Install also the firefox-fix pet. Close all firefox sessions and then launch firefox again. It should now work with latest flash.

So...the incompatibility comes from firefox 10 and latest flash. They need some arrangement.

Sure....I could compile Qupzilla for Polarpup. I think too that the Qupzilla is best of those more or less lightweight browsers. I will compile it probably this evening.

Thanks pemasu - that is most appreciated, even given that Qupzilla is in early development, your QT environment would seem to be perfect for it - from what I understand.
I was using your Wine pet earlier today, and the old Win/Mac gold-standard statistics program, "StatView 5.01", on it. It's "abandonware" nowadays, but you can find copies of it still on those filesharing sites (?) I am yet to find StatViews' equal, without having to upgrade heavily to 'R'. The PolarPup+Wine environment was rock-solid, thankyou!

P.S. After I posted about using PolarPup005 on the T60 this morning, I was checking Qupzilla for breaks etc. I noticed that it spontaneously crashed when the user was trying to change preferences. Something to look out for in the recompile, perhaps?

Cheers!

I have had a long day. I will leave for tomorrow of compiling Qupzilla.

No problems, pemasu - certainly don't rush on my behalf. Works better than FF8 as it is!
