Re: [orca-list] Direct download link for firefox 24 for 64 bit ubuntu 13.4?



Another option is Chrome with Chromevox. This gives you another browsing option if anything should happen to Orca or Firefox or your text based browsing options.

Thank you guys so much.
I really appreciate the help. I feel like a complete dweeb being
dependant on the net and the browser so much that I can't effectively
get certain things done. So, I appreciate your help.
This makes me want to get to know linx or links, or what ever that
text based browser is. :-)

Anyway, I'll check out both of these options!

The firefox is precompiled. In the directory, there is a file called
firefox that you can just run. I think the best way to use this package
would be to extract it to your home directory and run it from there.
This package may complain about missing libraries. I am not very
familiar with debian based systems but I did a google search and  found
a tool called apt-file which may help you install missing libraries if
you run into that problem. From its man page, it looks like you first
would run apt-file update to update package metadata for this program.
Then you would run apt-file search followed by the file name of the
missing library. Descriptions of this program state that it will return
the package name that the library was found in. When you have this info,
you could install the missing lib packages in the usual way.

Hi DXer,
Well, I downloaded that, but I'm not sure what to do with it. It isn't
a .deb package I don't think, and there's no make file in there.
So, I completely admit that I may not know what I'm doing, but I don't
know what to do with that archive.

Thanks so much tough for finding it though!
I'm sortof at a standstill here and kindof frustrating.
You can bet that I will set my next installation of ubuntu not to
update packages! :-)

Thanks!
Rusty

Here is a link to a firefox 24 built by mozilla. I have no idea if this
will work for you as I don't run ubuntu but its worth a shot.

Hi folks,
I'm having trouble finding a download of a .dev file to roll back my
firefox. Part of this is because I can't navigate web pages very well
the way things stand.
So, any help at all would be very much appreciated.
I'm running ubuntu 13.4 64 bit.
If you have another suggestion for me, I completely open!

Thanks!
Rusty
