Install Iceweasel 10 ESR on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ( Mozilla Firefox Debian Rebranded )

Click to enlarge

Since 4.0 Mozilla has decided to release the further Firefox browsers more frequently for the sake of improvements. It is indeed a great decision, but there are many enterprise users who need standardized system to simplify their enterprise technical management. Because of this reason, then Mozilla made a new decision to create a new branch of their Firefox browser that named Extended Support Release (ESR). This is similar to Long Term Support of Ubuntu release, but apparently Ubuntu doesn't facilitate this branch so we are Ubuntu users won't get ESR version of Firefox from Ubuntu's official repository.

But happily, there is official Debian project maintains the ESR release of their rebranded Firefox Iceweasel web browser. And I've tried the app from their Sid repository on my Ubuntu 12.04 and it worked fine (with some patches). As usual, I am so happy if I can share any good things to the others and so now you all Ubuntu users could try Iceweasel 10.0.5 ESR on your Ubuntu 12.04 system.

Installation

First, install its dependency from the Ubuntu repository :

libnspr4-0d

Then, you need to download and install them manually :

xulrunner-10.0

libmozjs10d

iceweasel

Or, the simple way is by install them at once by

sudo dpkg -i

then fix its dependency by command :

sudo apt-get -f install (of course don't forget you need Internet connection to do this to access the Ubuntu repository)

Download

iceweasel_10.0.5esr-2_i386.deb

libmozjs10d_10.0.5esr-2_i386.deb

xulrunner-10.0_10.0.5esr-2_i386.deb

Note :

We can't run Iceweasel and Mozilla Firefox at the same time. If you have Firefox, you have to choose which browser that you want to use.

That's it I hope this will be useful for you. Any bug and or error please send me feedback.

Ubuntu Kylin 19.04 Review : A Gorgeous Windows 10 Clone

It's been quite a while since the last post I wrote in this blog. My daily life prevents me to write another stuff about Linux Desktop, and now I'm curious to take a look to the Ubuntu Kylin 19.04. Ubuntu is always be my favorite distro. It supports huge number of hardwares, it has probably the largest Linux software repository. It is also --the most important thing-- very easy to install, even for beginners. But for some couple of years, because of technical reason, I stopped to play around with the Ubuntu releases. I stood for KDE Neon and became my primary OS because of its simplicity and the look. Few days ago Ubuntu has released its newer version, Ubuntu 19.04 codenamed Disco Dingo. I'm yes impressed by the progress Ubuntu developer has made, especially the way they arrange the GNOME desktop to match the Ubuntu theme. But the most interesting flavor of this release is Ubuntu Kylin. It's an official Ubuntu flavor, designed for Chinese People with its own...

How To Speed Up Your KDE Plasma Desktop (KDE4)

KDE is one of the oldest desktop environment in Linux. While GNOME (the other desktop that as old as KDE) is trying to built its own style of user interface, KDE from the beginning seems to mimics the Microsoft Windows' "classic" user interface. Thus, KDE has its own user base, especially for them who still in love with the Windows' philosophy : a simple desktop, with a single taskbar in the bottom, and a start menu in the left. Personally, I love KDE. It's gorgeous and eyecandy. But sometimes, I feel KDE is little bit slow in my older hardwares. So, after some experiences, I've found some tweak how to make KDE Plasma Desktop Runs Faster . 1. Change The Compositing Engine Go to System Settings>Desktop Effect>Advanced , and change the Compositing type from OpenGL 2.0 to XRender. 2. Remove All Bloatware Apps There are some uneeded apps installed in Kubuntu (my favorite KDE distro) and you could safely remove them. Here are my list : ...

Q4OS 4.6 "Gemini" Review: A Real Hidden Gem

Distro hopping is a fun adventure. It's a pure joy you can only find in GNU/Linux world. It's a nature you want to escape from what I call 'comfort ecosystem'. You need to play, trying something new even for a few little differences. For a long time I've been using Ubuntu family as my daily driver. The main reason is probably just same as any other Ubuntu user: it's reliable. You can't go wrong with Ubuntu. It works almost in any device, even for the newest one. It is the ultimate Linux distro you can rely on. However, sometimes, you will feel bored. The temptation to flirt with other new distro is unbearable. There are a lot of hot new Linux distros waiting to try. A Real Hidden Gem I've known this distro for a quite long time. At first, it offered Trinity Desktop as the main desktop, which brings me the sweet memories about KDE3. It is simply fast, stable, almost without any issue, and it is based on Debian. I install it on my old machine and I love t...
