    Does AMD64 Firefox 4 update available for Linux

    I went to make out if there was update meant for Firefox on my Linux PC and there wasn't, except there I got that you might obtain it by adding PPA which I did and afterward establish the firefox-4.0 installation file and I installed it. However turned out to be named Minefield and was simply a 4.0 beta, except while I went to the page to obtain the official Firefox release every one of they had was an i686 edition which will run through the ia-32 thing, except test looks terrible, and meant for several reason flash doesn't work.

    For the past few days, the team presented the first beta of Mozilla's new Firefox 5.0, which should already become stable version June 29, 2011. The new Firefox 5.0 beta 1 adds new features including those from the new search box and the ability to save websites directly to the desktop just as if they were programs (much like Chrome). If you want to test the new Firefox 5.0 Beta 1 (available are English and we cannot incorporate any add-on for firefox 4) on Linux, just download the files from the links located under the file and click extract firefox (not firefox.bin)

    First of all open Ubuntu Software Center, go to Edit > Software Sources and click on top of the ‘Other Software’ tab. Push ‘Add’ and afterward paste ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable into the applicable field. Following adding the PPA you will be prompted for updating sources. On one occasion completed you can goto System > Administration > Update Manager to carry out an upgrade. On the other hand you can perform the above by the use of the Terminal (Applications > Terminal). Just type following 2 commands unconnectedly, entering password while asked.
    Code:
    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable 
     sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

    Re: Does AMD64 Firefox 4 update available for Linux

    Have you tried the 64-bit version of ubuntu but you cannot see the flash videos on youtube? it is because you are missing adobe flash player. The problem is that this plugin is not yet available for Linux 64-bit versions. One way to install it is through the use of n nspluginwrapper program that allows us to do so. Once you download it just rename it to "nspluginwrapper.deb" and install it in your home directory. Before installation must install the necessary dependencies to the package, in a terminal:
    Code:
    # Sudo apt-get install linux32 ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs libc6-i386 lib32asound2 lib32gcc1 lib32z1
    Once done this installation the package with the command:
    Code:
    # Dpkg-i nspluginwrapper.deb

    Re: Does AMD64 Firefox 4 update available for Linux

    According to rumors, Firefox 4 - the first version of Mozilla, which is officially released on 64 bit Linux? For us it means that you can no longer use Iceweasel for Debian, not to take unofficial builds and, moreover, do not compile yet manually. But the link from the official site seems to put a 32-bit version ... I have it working fine, but do not see silent 64-bit Flash and no picks qt-theme with this error when running the console
