I am asking for a firefox update to version 31.4. This would permit the most recent packages icedtea, jre or jdk, rhino of alien bob for java to work with porteus 3.1. See:
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php? ... 6&start=15
In fact, the mozilla-firefox-31.4 from salix does the job perfectly. It could be downloaded with usm. It integrates flawlessly with lxqt, but kde does not recognise it, and has to be started in command line.
Thanks a lot.

@Ed:
Very good. Why don't you intervene and provide the procedure for shabido? You are the expert.

He wants something very simple, a step by step tutorial for newcomer. I realize that I kind of made a bad job.
Naturally, there is no obligation.
Meanwhile, I maintain my demand for firefox update to 31.4 as the most recent version is always more secure.

Have you checked USM for it? I have it running as a module on 3.0.1.Meanwhile, I maintain my demand for firefox update to 31.4 as the most recent version is always more secure.

@ed:
In fact, following this other thread on java:
viewtopic.php?f=81&t=4335
I downloaded openjre, icedtea and rhino from usm instead of fetching them from alien bob repo. Firefox porteus does not accept these modules for security reasons. You should try your whole procedure on porteus 3.1. If it works then you will be convincing me. I would be happy that you would find me to be wrong.
Then I download mozilla-firefox-31.4 and inactivate porteus 3.1 firefox module and icedtea is accepted.
Meanwhile, if you want, it might be a good thing to remove your post to shabido as he is working with porteus lxqt 3.1. (keep a copy of it on your desktop)
