I installed the most recent version of Joli OS on my older desktop; it comes with Chromium, but I'd like to install Firefox. How do I do this? Thanks!

Opening command line: 1. Go to last page of joli desktop. 2. Click local apps. 3. Click add local apps (top right) - huh? There's nothing at the top right.

Ahh, yes--you hit Alt-F1 to get to the terminal! Once I did that, and entered the string (above), it "installed" the local apps folder... that's where Firefox (and a bunch of other stuff) was placed. Worked like a charm! Thanks!

Firefox 4:

Hi, anyone using Joli

I noticed another question elsewhere and wondered

If there are problems it should be posted as a new thread, but at least we can cross link threads.

Apologies for hijacking your thread, but this is a minority OS for Firefox, and anyone else posting or reading this is likely to be the nearest we have to a resident expert on the OS.
