      From: forkosh@panix.com              I have a slackware64-current installed from 2023-Feb-07,       running mozilla-firefox-109.0.1-x86_64-1.txz as originally       installed at that time. And that's been working just fine.       But a site said it's an old browser that they won't be       supporting much longer.              So I downloaded mozilla-firefox-115.0-x86_64-1.txz       back on 2023-Jul-06, and just got around to        upgradepkg --reinstall mozilla-firefox-115.0-x86_64-1.txz       which seemed to work, i.e., the messages said it reinstalled       the package. And firefox came up when executed,       and Help-->About_Firefox said it was 115. But then, when I tried       loading a page from a site, it just sat there and did nothing.              I played around with it for a while, but got nowhere.       So I then went back to the old package with        upgradepkg --reinstall mozilla-firefox-109.0.1-x86_64-1.txz       and that now correctly works just as it's been working since       originally installed.              So what did I do wrong, and how do I upgrade firefox       so that it actually works?       --       John Forkosh ( mailto: j@f.com where j=john and f=forkosh )              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
