Downloading and installing Firefox
Prerequisites:
• Mandatory patch for HP PA-RISC 2.0 (11.11). You must install patch PHSS_33033
to use Firefox. This patch prevents hangs with 100% CPU utilization.
Installing the kit:
1. Login as root.
2. Please make sure an older version of Firefox is not running on the system before
starting the new installation. Firefox installs under /opt/firefox. A new version
installs over an older version. To keep an older version, copy or rename the older
version to another location before you begin the installation of the new version.
During installation, any system-wide changes done to the config files at /opt/
firefox are overwritten. However, user-specific configurations at $HOME/
.mozilla are not affected.
Only files from the original Firefox installation are overwritten. Files added later
are not removed, for example, Firefox plug-in files.
3. To download the .depot file, you need approximately 40MB of disk space
(PA-RISC); 70MB (Integrity); 70 MB (Source Code). To install the software from
the .depot file, you need an additional 60 MB disk space (PA-RISC); 100 MB
(Integrity and Source Code). The download file runs on both Workstations and
Servers. After installing the software, you can remove the .depot file. Download
the software into a location with adequate space. We'll use the directory /tmp in
our example.
4. To verify that the file downloaded correctly, at the UNIX prompt run the command
md5sum <filename>. If the file downloaded correctly, the checksum number
for the file you downloaded should match the checksum number provided on the
SW Depot download page.
5. As root user, start Software Depot Install (SD Install) by typing:
# /usr/sbin/swinstall
