Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

cant you remove it from any application manager ?
im not sure of this step but you can try it if you want go with filebox to /var/libs/dpkg/info and there is 4 files for fennec you can remove them and then remove fennec and if you tried this and didnt work the last thing you got to delete it from /home/opt/ and delete the icons from /usr/share

./sifo

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

the icon is still there. i cant find it. but i deleted the files from home/opt/

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

Try this:

delete:

/etc/others-menu/*fennec.desktop
/opt/mozilla
/usr/bin/fennec
/usr/share/applications/hildon/fennec.desktop
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.mozilla.fennec.service
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26/hildon/fennec.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/40x40/hildon/fennec.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/fennec.png

then (from postinst, maybe not needed)
update icons
# gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

update desktop
# update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications

In my case, I had the nightly version 9.0, it was not optimized for maemo 5, but the problem was solved.

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

sorry Mohammed i thought you know where the icon is but D@vIcHoJD got your back do as he said ;)

as for updating icons you also can use killall hildon-desktop (you also can use this after installing a package with dpkg and cant see it's icon in the menu )

Download 8.0.1: http://www.4shared.com/file/U3w_bovq..._80_armel.html

Download Nightly: http://www.4shared.com/file/ktfHgaJX...0a1_armel.html
(Snapshot of 2012-01-13)

Version 12 is visibly faster than version 10 and page scrolling doesn't result in checkboarding. Start up and shutdown take a few seconds instead of a minute.

If anyone is interested I can make the stable versions as well. It takes about 30 minutes to compile on my quad core system.

Update: Version 8.0.1 uses a faster JIT engine than builds 9.0 and higher. Until Mozilla updates it (which will probably be never), 8.0.1 is the last build worth using on our N900s.

Are the download links still correct?

I've tried download v8.0.1 from the link and no go.....

Thanks.

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

You need to log in with your 4shared account ;) I tried it just 3 days ago, it worked. Something could have been happened though...

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

The download links should still work. They work for me.

If someone knows of a better file sharing service let me know.

Thank you for your support in compile and convert this package to maemo.

PS: if you make an "how to" for compile next fennec release we can compile and serve for community with our server and hardware.

Let me know.
Thank You

I'll see about building an updated Fennec in the next few days. I haven't touched this since I first posted.

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

What about pushing last working version of fennec to extras-devel?
Some days ago I created correct dsc source package for autobuilder.
See http://maemo.org/packages/view/fennec/

That should probably happen now that Mozilla has pulled support. I'll think about it.

Fennec 13.0 has been posted to the OP. I have used it for surfing a few regular sites and did not see any problems. Unfortunately the JavaScript JIT is still slower than 8.x. I have enabled the official branding as I did not need to modify any source code.
