scoopy Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I don't think any RPM's are available for this yet and thus it will not update via URPMI... checkout this thread: https://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=29585 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polemicz Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 The simplest way to get to 1.5 is to use the mozilla tars. Mandriva won't be doing updates from their current packages, just security patches (which is all there is from 1.0.2 to 1.0.7). It's a pretty straightforward installation for 1.5.

polemicz Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Go to the mozilla site and download the firefox files (they are called firefox-1.5.tar.gz. Go to the directory where you downloaded it and unpack them: $tar xvf firefox-1.5.tar.gz (can be done as regular user) You will now have a directory /firefox in that directory. You want to move that to /usr/lib as root su password xxxx #mv firefox /usr/lib/firefox next you want a link from /usr/bin to the usr/lib firefox executable #ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox You should remove your current firefox before doing all this. You will also need to update your KDE menu if you are using KDE (or Gnome if using that). Hope this is clear and it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 You could also try following the instructions listed here: http://website.lineone.net/~desmond.armstrong/updates.html I just did this and it appears to be working fine. I had quite a few extensions installed and they were either upgraded or disabled when I launched the browser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
