Mac Forum / Applications / Firefox / Mozilla / February 2006Mounting Firefox 1.5
I've upgraded to Firefox 1.5 replacing an earlier version of the program. Now I can't mount the Firefox browser that I installed. When I try to load Firefox, "The application Firefox unexpectedly quit." notice pops up. I'm using MacOS 10.1.5 on a Power Macintosh G3 and have a DSL connection through EarthLink. I'm looking for steps to correct this or a resource that might be useful so that I again can use Firefox. Everything was going great until I made the Firefox upgrade effort. :-( Richard Peterson rapca@earthlink.net > I've upgraded to Firefox 1.5 replacing an earlier version of the program. > Now I can't mount the Firefox browser that I installed.

Running from the disk image is not a good idea and causes many problems. > I've upgraded to Firefox 1.5 replacing an earlier version of the program. > Now I can't mount the Firefox browser that I installed.

Sorry, Richard, but we dropped support for Mac OS X 10.1 in the Firefox 1.5 release, and we couldn't find a fantastic way to display a better message on launch. Since I assume an upgrade from 10.1 is out of the question, your best bet is to drop back to 1.0.7: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/1.0.7/mac/en-US/F irefox%201.0.7.dmg Mark > I've upgraded to Firefox 1.5 replacing an earlier version of the program. > Now I can't mount the Firefox browser that I installed.

It seems to work much better for me than Firefox 1.5 on my PowerMac G5 w/OSX 10.4.4 and 2 gig of memory (maybe that's why it performs so much better). If you can, I advise you to upgrade to Tiger. You will be pleasantly surprised with the performance of your machine. By the way, Camino uses the same engine (Gecko) that Firefox uses, and was developed EXPRESSLY for the OS X platform, unlike Firefox, which was developed as a cross-platform app.  SignatureDonald L McDaniel Please reply to the original newsgroup and thread, so that the thread may remain intact. |
