That will pull up a web page. Keep searching until you find "Mostly Crystal" by CatThief. Choose, Install it. cliff1976 wrote: <blockquote cite="mid58e4f2180610290225r305eb820n104270ff3d51dd6b@mail.gmail.com" type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Sorry for the intrusion. I found the fonts settings in Firefox (it was right under my nose), so please ignore my previous message with regard to the fonts. Still, I'd like to know if there was anyone else whose tabs weren't working right under Firefox 2.0 (package from the Edgy repository).

The only thing in your instructions I had to modify was to do a "cp -r" instead of just "cp" to recursively copy the firefox directory into /opt/ (figured that out for myself). The good news: Firefox 2.0 is now working properly with regard to tab managment. I am pleased. The bad news: installing it this way makes it look *so*ugly* with regard to fonts. The Ubuntu package for Firefox 2.0 made the fonts used conform to the rest of KDE, but this binary installer version uses something terrible - character kerning is inconsistent and difficult to read. And the monospace fonts look even worse. Can anyone else confirm the behavior I was seeing earlier, where the Ubuntu package of Firefox 2.0 was not doing tabs properly? Or was it just me? I am going to have to make a tough decision here to see which is worse - lousy fonts or no tabs. I am looking, but so far have found no option in the Firefox menus to change the default fonts (Bitstream Vera or whatever was default in Edgy was nice, I'd like to go back to that if I can). Thanks for the help with the manual installation though - that at least is something different, if not better. Cliff </pre> <blockquote type="cite"> <pre wrap="">Hi Cliff Its actually really easy to install from the .tar.gz Its the binary installer, no compilation necessary. Download the .tar.gz from <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.getfirefox.com">www.getfirefox.com</a> and save it to your Desktop. Then open a console (K Menu > System > Konsole) then enter the following: cd ~/Desktop tar -xvzf firefox-2.0.tar.gz sudo cp firefox /opt cd /opt/firefox chmod a+x firefox ./firefox And thats it! Hope that helps :) Post back if you run into any problems </pre> </blockquote> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
