I haven't understood one thing--Can the longtime members of this forum please clarify that?
Is wanting to use Firefox, not Iceweasel, in Debian something like blasphemy? Because many seem to have this strict policy not to use the real Firefox, even strong disapproval of the browser. If it were so, my next question is:
Why was this thread allowed here in the first place? If you don't like Firefox, it should not be much hard just to ignore this thread!
Now, that said, I have got Firefox running on my Debian Testing machine, but did receive some errors. At the first run, I got two errors:
In terminal
Code: Select all
oracle:/opt# ff3

...and a Firefox error message

Finally, ran Firefox again as normal user and received this error
