Don't update your Firefox!

If you are using Firefox Official, please don't update it to version 78 because this update will make it broken!

Stay with version 77 (77.0 or 77.0.1).

The new version requires the new Glibc 2.17, which is not exist in SliTaz.

If you are already in trouble, download and unzip the file according to your language: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/77.0.1/linux-i686/ (direct link to English version: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/77.0.1/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-77.0.1.tar.bz2 )

There is another alternative. Get Glibc from slitaz next repo and install it.

I think its time to update Glibc in Slitaz. In order to allow new applications to install

Re: Don't update your Firefox!

I tried this, installing glibc from next onto slitaz-rolling in virtual machine.  It made my mouse click not work.  Very odd.  Right click still worked.  keyboard still worked.  But left click ignored.  As a result I didnt do much further testing.
