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.

Thanks all for the replies. Found an add-on called "compatibility assistant" that allows the custom toolbar to be used with FF versions 6 & 7. Problem solved.

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.i... http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.4/rpm/x86_64/MozillaFirefox-5.0-0.4.1...

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

And I'm wondering what the difference is between 5 and 7... from a UI perspective, they are almost identical. If "you" like 5, then how can you tell you're using 6 or 7 short of clicking Help > About?

C.

And by the fact that add-ons that work in FF 5 don't work in 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.

No. I have no idea what you are doing but above links point to the version 5 and I'm _absolutely_ sure it is version 5. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
