Hi
I've downloaded firefox 2 from this link

http://www.riscos.info

and I've looked up the various "How to get running" guides.
When I double click !Firefox nothing happens. I've looked for the Mozilla folder in !Boot.Choices.Users.Single
its there, along with the Mozilla.Firefox sub folders.
I've noticed that the profiles/ini text file is also there, but as I say nothing happens.
What am I missing? I'm sure I've got the correct version as it says it can be Run under VRPC using a strong arm Processor (I am) but obviously something is not right. I'm not getting any errors.

Anybody got it going on VRPC, or cant it be done ?

Andrew

I've found the same. No response whatsoever. I loaded the unix lib and tinct as well, so that's not the problem.

Using VRPC for Mac.

More out of curiosity than necessity :-)

I'm sorry to say that I have never had any real sucsess using the RISC OS Firefox 2 on any version of VirtualRPC :(

One thing I should say is that you must be using a StrongARM core. The ARM710 and 7500 aren't able to run FireFox 2
