Why Firefox doesn't works in 32 bits ? [Archive] - Ubuntu Forums

era — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 01:25:00 -0400

Problems with Firefox 1.5/i386 on Ubuntu amd64 The suggested solution almost works, but I had to find a different pangorc because it doesn't exist on my system. I had installed vmware and it includes a pangorc file I could use, so I just edited /opt/firefox/firefox to include export GTK_PATH=/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/ export PANGO_RC_FILE=/usr/local/lib/vmware/libconf/etc/pango/pangorc Tagged by era under blog, browser, erablog, firefox, forum, howto, ubuntu, 20060619-0123,

Guess which site is Google's #1 hit for the search string "http"

era — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 01:24:00 -0400

I typed in "http;//ubuntulinux.com" by mistake, and had a hard time figuring out how I ended up where I did This is all Knoppix' fault. It supplied me with a choice of US, German, or French keyboard, all of which suck for me. (Serves me right for not getting Gnoppix instead. Or, welp, the Ubuntu Live CD, which is what I am downloading now.) ... And partially Firefox's, for having the "I'm feeling lucky" button as the default for Google keywords.

How to use Firefox 1.5 on Ubuntu 5.10 Ubuntu 5.10 only ships with Firefox 1.0.7, which is kind of slow and has a troubling memory leak. This explains how to install an upstream 1.5 and integrate it so that it behaves like Gnome and Ubuntu expects. I could not find an amd64 version so I'm trying i386.
