Firefox bawaan dari CentOS 6.2 32 bit adalah mozilla firefox version 3.6.24. Firefox versi ini rasanya sudah sangat ketinggalan jaman, ketika saya membuka beberapa website seperti yahoo mail, gmail dll ada rekomendasi untuk mengupdate firefox ini.
Lalu bagaimana cara melalukan update firefox di CentOS? Biasa saja, langkahnya sangat mudah.
Langkah Pertama kunjungi http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/. Sesuaikan dengan versi terbaru dan bahasa yang ingin Anda gunakan. Dalam contoh ini penulis menggunakan versi 30.0 untuk CentOS 32bit.
Linux 32 bit
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-30.0.tar.bz2
Linux 64bit
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/linux-x86_64//en-US/firefox-30.0.tar.bz2
Jika sudah menentukan pilihan masuk ke terminal login sebagai root
# cd /usr/local # wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-30.0.tar.bz2
Contoh hasilnya seperti ini:
[linuxfun@linuxfun ~]$ su Password: [root@linuxfun linuxfun]# cd /usr/local [root@linuxfun local]# wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/30.0/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-30.0.tar.bz2 --2014-07-11 23:57:06-- http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/30.0/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-30.0.tar.bz2 Resolving ftp.mozilla.org... 63.245.215.56, 63.245.215.46 Connecting to ftp.mozilla.org|63.245.215.56|:80... connected.
Langkah Kedua Extract Archive firefox-30.0.tar.bz2
dengan cara
# tar xvjf firefox-30.0.tar.bz2
Hasilnya berikut ini:
[root@linuxfun local]# tar xvjf firefox-30.0.tar.bz2 firefox/ firefox/Throbber-small.gif firefox/run-mozilla.sh firefox/libnssckbi.so firefox/libplds4.so firefox/libnss3.so firefox/components/ firefox/components/components.manifest firefox/components/libdbusservice.so firefox/components/libmozgnome.so firefox/removed-files firefox/libplc4.so firefox/webapprt-stub firefox/libmozalloc.so firefox/crashreporter.ini firefox/libnssdbm3.chk firefox/libnspr4.so firefox/precomplete firefox/firefox firefox/libfreebl3.chk firefox/libnssutil3.so firefox/dependentlibs.list firefox/chrome.manifest firefox/platform.ini firefox/update-settings.ini firefox/dictionaries/ firefox/dictionaries/en-US.dic firefox/dictionaries/en-US.aff firefox/libnssdbm3.so firefox/browser/ firefox/browser/chrome/ firefox/browser/chrome/icons/ firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/ firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/default16.png firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/default48.png firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/default32.png firefox/browser/components/ firefox/browser/components/components.manifest firefox/browser/components/libbrowsercomps.so firefox/browser/extensions/ firefox/browser/extensions/{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}/ firefox/browser/extensions/{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}/install.rdf firefox/browser/extensions/{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}/icon.png firefox/browser/chrome.manifest firefox/browser/crashreporter-override.ini firefox/browser/searchplugins/ firefox/browser/searchplugins/google.xml firefox/browser/searchplugins/amazondotcom.xml firefox/browser/searchplugins/yahoo.xml firefox/browser/searchplugins/eBay.xml firefox/browser/searchplugins/wikipedia.xml firefox/browser/searchplugins/bing.xml firefox/browser/searchplugins/twitter.xml firefox/browser/icons/ firefox/browser/icons/mozicon128.png firefox/browser/omni.ja firefox/browser/blocklist.xml firefox/libsmime3.so firefox/libsoftokn3.chk firefox/mozilla-xremote-client firefox/defaults/ firefox/defaults/pref/ firefox/defaults/pref/channel-prefs.js firefox/libsoftokn3.so firefox/crashreporter firefox/updater firefox/firefox-bin firefox/application.ini firefox/libxul.so firefox/updater.ini firefox/libssl3.so firefox/libfreebl3.so firefox/libmozsqlite3.so firefox/plugin-container firefox/icons/ firefox/icons/updater.png firefox/omni.ja firefox/webapprt/ firefox/webapprt/webapprt.ini firefox/webapprt/omni.ja
Langkah Ketiga Konfigurasi Firefox Agar bisa digunakan oleh semua user
# ln -s /usr/local/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
Nah sekarang firefox bisa dijalankan melalui terminal dengan perintah:
# firefox
Langkah Keempat Add menu firefox di Gnome menu, ini sangat penting agar jika kita akan menjalankan firefox tidak perlu membuka terminal. Dengan bantuan alacarte kita bisa menambah, menghapus, mengubah posisi menu sesuai yang kita inginkan.
Semoga bermanfaat.
