1) Click on the /opt/palemoon/ dir to open it, right-click the /opt/palemoon/palemoon file, and choose Link in the pop-up menu, and make a link of it to /usr/bin/. That will make the PM's binaries visible to the system.
You can check that you've done it right: Open a terminal window and enter: which palemoon, it should answer: /usr/bin/palemoon.
2) Right-click on the Browser icon on your desktop, and choose Edit Item. The first line in the pop-up window should read: Clicking the icon opens: /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser. If not, click on the text and edit it to read that line, and save it.
3) Go to /usr/local/bin/ dir, right-click on the /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser file and open it AS TEXT, and make sure the text reads:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
exec palemoon "$@"
4) If you are using the JWM window manager, open a terminal window and enter: jwm -restart. That will make PM visible to the window manager, and let the Browser entry in various menus open PM. Many Puppys also have Restart Window Manager as a menu choice in the Exit menu.
Now you can click on the desktop Browser icon, and Palemoon should open.
If you have a frugal Puppy, use the Save icon to save the new PM to the system, but wait until you have run your new PM, and is satisfied with it. If not, don't Save, just reboot to continue to use your old browser, and the new PM is gone.
