[Bug 472882] Re: firefox-3.0 executable not provided by firefox-3.0 or firefox-3.5 packages (Karmic)

[Micah Gersten]

I've converted this to a request for what you have posted upstream.
Firefox 3.0 will be EOL in 2 months, so we cannot add it back to Karmic.

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
+ I heavily use a modified Ajaxterm (downloads from
+ http://JonathansCorner.com/terminal/  ), more than other terminals.
  
- I have the Karmic firefox-3.0 and firefox-3.5 packages installed, but no
- firefox-3.0 executable:
- 
- root at jonathanscrossing ~ # firefox-3.0
- The program 'firefox-3.0' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
- apt-get install firefox-3.0
- firefox-3.0: command not found
- root at jonathanscrossing ~ # apt-get install firefox-3.0
- Reading package lists... Done
- Building dependency tree       
- Reading state information... Done
- firefox-3.0 is already the newest version.
- 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
- root at jonathanscrossing ~ # apt-get install firefox-3.5
- Reading package lists... Done
- Building dependency tree       
- Reading state information... Done
- firefox-3.5 is already the newest version.
- 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
- root at jonathanscrossing ~ # find / -name firefox-3.0
- /etc/firefox-3.0
- /usr/share/doc/firefox-3.0
+ One major function is pasting text into the terminal session, which only
+ works for Ajaxterm if the script is allowed to access the clipboard.
+ Firefox disallows this by default, but 3.0.x allows this to be turned on
+ per instructions at
+ http://kb.mozillazine.org/Granting_JavaScript_access_to_the_clipboard .
+ So far no attempt to do this under 3.5.4 has succeeded; see
+ http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1570755&p=7901575#p7901575
+ for forum discussion and
+ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=526237 for a bug that has
+ so far not been acted on.
