Hi fellow foxers;
Does anyone know where I can get an rpm for the REAL Firefox 5? Every
link I've followed brings me FF 6 even when the rpm name says it's ver
5. Want to revert back to version 5. Don't like the newer ones.

Not sure what the REAL Firefox 5 is but for example for openSUSE 11.4
there are packages available here:
http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.4/rpm/i586/MozillaFirefox-5.0-0.4.
1.i586.rpm
http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.4/rpm/x86_64/MozillaFirefox-5.0-0.
4.1.x86_64.rpm

Please keep in mind that this version has known security issues you
won't get fixed if you don't update to later versions.

Thank all of you for the replies. Unfortunately none of the suggestions
are what I need. Although the package files were named with a version of
5, the unpacked/installed programs are all version 6+, not 5.

The url:http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/,
under the 5.0.1 sub-directory, has ONLY checksums, not installable
packages.

I'm particularly wanting version 5 so I can use my custom toolbar buttons
which I use extensively.

But thanks for taking the time to respond.

Tom

if you use yast, you should be able to click on the desired version you want,
just highlight "firefox", then click on the version tab below, that should
bring out the available versions, then you chose what you want.
