Description of problem: A VERY WEAK POINT IN MAGEIA!!; UPDATES ON BROWSERS, A VERY IMPORTANT FEATURE ON ANY SYSTEM, ARE WAY OUT OF DATE AND MANY SITES DO NOT WORK! The latest update (2 minutes ago) for Firefox 38, whereas the Mozilla has 48! I downloaded the latest version and tried to install it (after removing the MOZILLA version)===) see below under "steps to reproduce". Perhaps if you introduced a way of allowing the installer to read a DVD, this problem would not exist. P.S. For various reasons I much prefer Mageia to its "cousin" PCLINUXOS, so since you have the same "genes" you might look at what they do: 1. The PCLINUXOS versions of Firefox works perfectly ON all the sites that I tested it on. 2. PCLINUXOS has replaced CHROMIUM, by the superior VIVALDI (not tied to Google). They also have SLIMJET, which I have not tested. 3. The PCLINUXOS installer allows one install from a CD (I used it to update VIVALDI). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Inherent weakness Steps to Reproduce: 1. go to the mozilla site 2. download the firefox-48.0.2.tar.bz2 3. use Konqueror to go the place where the tar file has been downloaded. 4. right click==) extract, to extract either in /usr/share/ or in ~/home/ 5. try to make firefox work 6. try to make sense of the error message: bash: ./firefox: cannot execute binary file
* The current version of Firefox in Core Updates in Mageia 5 is Firefox ESR 45.3.0, which is the latest upstream stable version. If you don't have it on your mirror, the latter is likely outdated, you could try another mirror. * Vivaldi is a proprietary browser, it will not be included in Mageia unless someone has interest to package it in Nonfree. It does not replace Chromium in any way. If PCLinuxOS decided to let Vivaldi obsolete Chromium, it's their business, but it's a questionable decision. * I don't understand what you want regarding CDs/DVDs. * Regarding your steps to reproduce, you likely downloaded a 64-bit binary and try to run it on a 32-bit system, which won't work. * Do not use CAPS in bug report, this is often seen as aggressive.
