how about for ubuntu? :whistle:

They should put out the security update soon on the Ubuntu software repositories. The update-notifier in the system tray should eventually notify you when that happens.

In the mean time, here's the Official Linux package for Mozilla Firefox.

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir...ox-1.0.3.tar.gz

What I did was extracted it:

Opened a terminal window

Went to the download location using the cd command

sudo tar zxvf firefox-1.0.3.tar.gz -C /usr/lib

Opened up nautilus as root

sudo nautilus --no-desktop --browser

Went to /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox

Copied the links from my plugins in the Firefox plugins folder to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins

Copied firefox.sh from the Firefox folder to /usr/lib/firefox

Renamed /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox as /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.0.2

Renamed /usr/lib/firefox as /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox

Keep in mind some of the defaults that Mozilla sets in preferences are different than the ones Ubuntu sets.

That's for the impatient people. Otherwise wait for .deb file to turn up at debian.org or the Ubuntu Update Notifier.

And Firefox still crashes when I vist this page!

My eyes bled when I saw it. I think that's not good.

Hey, i just thought ill comment on one thing. I just recently made the switch from IE to firefox. At first i was hesitant because of the features and stuff mainly because im a web devoloper but... holy cow! what an amazing browser! The thing in my oppionion that firefox hold out on over ie is the ammount of customization and tweaking thats possible. hell, if you wanted to you could make firefox into IE except a hell of alott faster. Firefox know has my vote hands down to beat the hell out of ie and put it to rest.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
    • One reason it might be running hotter is dust build up within the cooling or perhaps the paste has dried out. You could always try repasting your old GPU and cleaning the cooler. Your experience in Linux will be much better with an AMD GPU; the performance in gaming is much closer to Windows than nVidia would be. I personally think on Windows, AMD drivers are junk.
    • I reviewed it back in March, but I didn't have a 5070 at the time https://www.neowin.net/reviews/amd-rx-9070-review-vs-rtx-5070-4070-and-rx-9070-xt-7800-xt--just-good-enough/ When I reviewed the 9070 I did have a 5070 to compare it against, so the scores are there for the 9070 XT. it outperforms the 5070 in raster, and is barely neck and neck in Ray Tracing. So it's better than a 5070 in everything but Ray Tracing where it is neck and neck, or just under. To be honest, the uplift from 3080 when it was new to the 9070 XT is not as great a step up. If you can find a used 4080 Super for around the same money, you would probably be better off, but if you only want to buy new then the 16GB 9070 XT is the best value for money in its category.
