Setting up New Bebits Firefox build to be used in Beam

http://zetabeos.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=13

Hello Everyone,

There is an updated version of Firefox on Bebits (build 03, I believe). It's quite an improvement over the previous versions. I thought I'd post this, in the event that someone else wants to use it, and also wants to maintain the ability to view html in Beam.

First off, I downloaded the Firefox zip package to my download directory. I then deleted /boot/apps/Internet/Firefox, and also deleted the firefox icon from Fast Launch. Once I did that I then unzipped the new Firefox directory into /boot/apps/Internet and rename the folder Firefox. Inside the unzipped Firefox directory, I renamed both firefox and firefox-bin to Firefox and Firefox-bin (if you don't rename them, the new Firefox will not be used by Beam). Finally by using the SVG Icon Tranfer Tool (available on Bebits) I added the Firefox icon to /boot/apps/Internet/Firefox/Firefox and added a link to the Quick Launch. You will need to reboot after the renaming of Firefox otherwise she won't run.

P.S. Be advised Bebits just added another Firefox version 03 then the one that they posted last week AND I could not get this 03 version to work at all. It's 9.3MB compared to 9.18MB as posted here.
