Update Fedora 12 to Firefox 3.6 howto

I got tired of waiting for the main Fedora 12 repositories to provide Firefox 3.6. I dug around a bit and the following will get you a Firefox 3.6 version installed on your Fedora 12, so what are you waiting for?







$ sudo yum --enablerepo=rawhide update firefox

  9. Anonymous,

    I think you will find that major (3.x to 4.x) will almost always break your add-ons. These are plug-ins written to a specific versions API. The reason developers bump the version up one number is that the API has changed significantly.

    Just look up the add-ons that broke and see if they have a new version for your 4.x Firefox yet!
