(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

UPDATE 01 May 2020:

I have decided to in future, only do MAJOR POINT releases (i.e. 68.6.0 , 68.7.0 etc)
as MINOR POINT releases (i.e. 68.6.1 , 68.6.2 etc) can be done by
simply accepting Firefox's offer of update, when that is made.

64bit Version 68.4.2 SUPERSEDED see below

I found firefox esr not friendly with outlook mail (or maybe outlook mail not friendly with firefox esr )

https://outlook.live.com/owa/

Running firefox esr 68.4.2 in Fatdog702 (as root) can't login outlook.live

Running firefox esr 68.4.2 (32bit) in 4M linux (as root) can login.

While using chromium based browsers can always login

I am just confused . Anyone have similar experience .

Browsing with firefox esr 68.4.2 but failed to login skype-web.

Error message : Browser not supported

seems Micro$oft products not friendly with firefox

That's disappointing. I don't use ms stuff so I didn't test it. I use talky.io instead of skype (you have to message first rather than see who's online). Also tested streaming - asks to autoload drm first time. All worked by running apulse firefox.

64bit Version 68.5.0 - SUPERSEDED - see below

Firefox ESR 64bit Version 68.6.0 - SUPERSEDED - see below

What is ESR? Why do I have to have it?

@Flash - Firefox Extended Support Release is the 'fewer frills' more stable version aimed at large companies. I find it has most useful features of standard firefox with fewer issues.

Firefox ESR 64bit Version 68.6.1 - superseded - see below
Install by clicking on .pet in ROX-Filer.

Thanks (yet again) Ally!

Firefox ESR 64bit Version 68.7.0 - SUPERSEDED

I have decided to in future, only do MAJOR POINT releases (i.e. 68.6.0 , 68.7.0 etc)

I am not certain this is the appropriate thread to post this question. Please direct me elsewhere if not the appropriate thread.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give.

Where do I go to make sound work on Firefox 75.0 (64-bit)?

Sound plays on all sites through Palemoon 28.9.2 (64-bit). But, Palemoon 28.9.2 (64-bit) will not play the website I want to hear. Firefox 75.0 (64-bit) will play this site but with no sound.

I took Firefox download from Quickpet then allowed Firefox to auto update to current version 75.0(64-bit).

I've searched everything I can through a general DuckDuckGo web search. Nothing seems to work from any of the Firefox support sites.
I am running Tahrpup64.7.0.5 on a HP HX Premium Series 4GB RAM.
I have everything in Retrovol turned on.
Sound Wizard test plays 'bark, bark' loud and clear
I've tried both sound cards in Sound Wizard.

Thanks again,
Sky

Hi Sky. For Firefox sound issues, try running:
apulse firefox
Works for me with my .pet files above. Some sites will require also DRM & will ask permission to activate it.

Thank you, ozsouth

Where do I find apulse firefox?

I saw DRM as a suggestion in one Firefox Fix Sound tutorials but I couldn't figure out what it was and what it did and how to activate it.

I'll try the apulse firefox first if I can locate it and understand how to insert it into Firefox 75.0.

Hint:

Hi Semme,

Got another hint?

@Sky, which puppy & kernel are you using? Almost all modern pups have apulse (for kernel, run uname -a). I can probably make you an apulse package.
