Running Lucid Puppy 5.2 Downloaded and installed FireFox 3.6.6 pet Opened browser & FF site pops up and says "almost there" & I should upgrade to the latest most secure version, apparently 6.0 I had all kinds of problems before this in Wary and lupu with trying to get FF as browser from pet mgr + flashplayer - (lost net connection and any browser at all) and don't want repeat fiasco. I would rather play it safe and not try to upgrade from the FF site; do I have to?;is it a good idea? Advice appreciated. Acer Aspire-AMD Athlon64, 3800 1 G ram - 160 G HD permanent newbie Regards retry3 |

I will give my noob advice and others will give you expert advice so you get many kinds here I hope. First I would say no to the upgrade that firefox suggest. And then I would go into edit - preferences and go to Advanced and Update and there untick the update. Then I would upgrade 2.6.6 to 3.6.24 or higher what them have there. That way you get the latest version of 3.6.x and can use that one while you learn more about FF 8 and FF9 and so on. We have threads about FF8 so read these threads and look for how to keep the older one and boot the newer ones as sfs instead of pet install. That way you could get to know both the older and the newest and decide on what you feel most at home in. Adobe Flash player is described in that thread about FF8 too as I remember. So now over to the experts and their very different advice

I was having the same problem with FF and couldn´t figure out what the heck was wrong until I posted here and got the fix. Turns out that FF upgrades after 6.0 (and maybe even earlier) don´t play well with PL. Here is the site to get the FF pet for ver. 8.0: http://diddywahdiddy.net/LupuNews/ Then I go to FF > Edit > Pref > Adv > uncheck automatic updates FF |
