Mozilla is subject to the terms detailed in the license
|
|
agreement accompanying it.
|
|
|
|
This Read Me file contains information about system
|
|
requirements and installation instructions for the Windows,
|
|
Mac OS, and Linux builds of Mozilla.
|
|
|
|
For more info on Mozilla, see www.mozilla.org. To submit bugs
|
|
or other feedback, see the Navigator QA menu and check out
|
|
Bugzilla at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org for links to known
|
|
bugs, bug-writing guidelines, and more. You can also get help

Getting Mozilla
|
|
|
|
==============================================================
|
|
|
|
You can download nightly builds of Mozilla from the
|
|
Mozilla.org FTP site at
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/
|
|
|
|
For the very latest builds, see
|
|
|
|
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk
|
|
|
|
Keep in mind that nightly builds, which are used by
|
|
Mozilla.org developers for testing, may be buggy. If you are
|
|
looking for a more polished version of Mozilla, Mozilla.org
|
|
releases Milestone builds of Mozilla every six weeks or so
|
|
that you can download from
|
|
|
|
http://www.mozilla.org/releases
|
|
|
|
Be sure to read the Mozilla release notes for information
|
|
on known problems and installation issues with Mozilla.
|
|
The release notes can be found at the preceding URL along
|
|
with the milestone releases themselves.
|
|
|
|
Note: Please use Talkback builds whenever possible. These
|
|
builds allow transmission of crash data back to Mozilla
|
|
developers, improved crash analysis, and posting of crash
|
|
information to our crash-data newsgroup.

Installation Instructions
|
|
|
|
==============================================================
|
|
|
|
For Mac OS and Windows users, it is strongly recommended that
|
|
you exit all programs before running the setup program. Also,
|
|
you should temporarily disable virus-detection software.
|
|
|
|
For Linux users, note that the installation instructions use
|
|
the bash shell. If you're not using bash, adjust the commands
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
For all platforms, install into a clean (new) directory.
|
|
Installing on top of previously released builds may cause
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
Note: These instructions do not tell you how to build Mozilla.
|
|

Windows Installation Instructions
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Note: For Windows NT/2000/XP systems, you need Administrator
|
|
privileges to install Mozilla. If you see an "Error 5" message
|
|
during installation, make sure you're running the installation
|
|
with Administrator privileges.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install Mozilla by downloading the Mozilla installer,
|
|
follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Click the the mozilla-win32-installer.exe link on
|
|
the site you're downloading Mozilla from to download
|
|
the installer file to your machine.
|
|
|
|
2. Navigate to where you downloaded the file and
|
|
double-click the Mozilla program icon on your machine
|
|
to begin the Setup program.
|
|
|
|
3. Follow the on-screen instructions in the setup
|
|
program. The program starts automatically the first
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install Mozilla by downloading the .zip file and
|
|
installing manually, follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Click the mozilla-win32-talkback.zip link or the
|
|
mozilla-win32.zip link on the site you're down-
|
|
loading Mozilla from to download the .zip file to
|
|
your machine.
|
|
|
|
2. Navigate to where you downloaded the file and
|
|
double-click the compressed file.
|
|
|
|
Note: This step assumes you already have a recent
|
|
version of WinZip installed, and that you know how to
|
|
use it. If not, you can get WinZip and information
|
|
about the program at www.winzip.com.
|
|
|
|
3. Extract the .zip file to a directory such as
|
|
C:\Program Files\mozilla.org\Mozilla.
|
|
|
|
4. To start Mozilla, navigate to the directory you
|
|
extracted Mozilla to and double-click the Mozilla.exe
|
|
icon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X Installation Instructions
|
|
----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To install Mozilla by downloading the Mozilla disk image,
|
|
follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Click the mozilla-mac-MachO.dmg.gz link to download
|
|
it to your machine. By default, the download file is
|
|
downloaded to your desktop.
|
|
|
|
2. Once you have downloaded the .dmg.gz file, drag it
|
|
onto Stuffit Expander to decompress it. If the disk
|
|
image doesn't mount automatically, double-click on the
|
|
.dmg file to mount it. If that fails, and the file
|
|
does not look like a disk image file, do a "Show Info"
|
|
on the file, and, in the "Open with application"
|
|
category, choose Disk Copy. In Mac OS 10.2, you can
|
|
use "Open with" from the context menu.
|
|
|
|
3. Once the disk image mounts, open it, and drag the
|
|
Mozilla icon onto your hard disk.
|
|
|
|
4. We recommend that you copy it to the Applications
|
|
folder.
|
|
|
|
5. Now Eject the disk image.
|
|
|
|
6. If you like, you can drag Mozilla to your dock to
|
|
have it easily accessible at all times. You might also
|
|
wish to select Mozilla as your default browser in the
|
|
Internet system preferences pane (under the Web tab).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux Installation Instructions
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Note: If you install in the default directory (which is
|
|
usually /usr/local/mozilla), or any other directory where
|
|
only the root user normally has write-access, you must
|
|
start Mozilla first as root before other users can start
|
|
the program. Doing so generates a set of files required
|
|
for later use by other users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install Mozilla by downloading the Mozilla installer,
|
|
follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a directory named mozilla (mkdir mozilla)
|
|
and change to that directory (cd mozilla).
|
|
|
|
2. Click the link on the site you're downloading
|
|
Mozilla from to download the installer file
|
|
(called mozilla-1686-pc-linux-gnu-installer.tar.gz)
|
|
to your machine.
|
|
|
|
3. Change to the mozilla directory (cd mozilla) and
|
|
decompress the archive with the following command:
|
|
|
|
tar zxvf moz*.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
The installer is now located in a subdirectory of
|
|
Mozilla named mozilla-installer.
|
|
|
|
4. Change to the mozilla-installer directory
|
|
(cd mozilla-installer) and run the installer with the
|
|
./mozilla-installer command.
|
|
|
|
5. Follow the instructions in the install wizard for
|
|
installing Mozilla.
|
|
|
|
Note: If you have a slower machine, be aware that the
|
|
installation may take some time. In this case, the
|
|
installation progress may appear to hang indefinitely,
|
|
even though the installation is still in process.
|
|
|
|
6. To start Mozilla, change to the directory where you
|
|
installed it and run the ./mozilla command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To install Mozilla by downloading the tar.gz file:
|
|
|
|
1. Create a directory named "mozilla" (mkdir mozilla)
|
|
and change to that directory (cd mozilla).
|
|
|
|
2. Click the link on the site you're downloading
|
|
Mozilla from to download the non-installer
|
|
(mozilla*.tar.gz) file into the mozilla directory.
|
|
|
|
3. Change to the mozilla directory (cd mozilla) and
|
|
decompress the file with the following command:
|
|
|
|
tar zxvf moz*.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
This creates a "mozilla" directory under your mozilla
|
|
directory.
|
|
|
|
4. Change to the mozilla directory (cd mozilla).
|
|
|
|
5. Run Mozilla with the following run script:
|
|
|
|
./mozilla
|
|
|
|
|
|
To hook up Mozilla complete with icon to the GNOME Panel,
|
|
follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. Click the GNOME Main Menu button, open the Panel menu,
|
|
and then open the Add to Panel submenu and choose Launcher.
|
|
|
|
2. Right-click the icon for Mozilla on the Panel and
|
|
enter the following command:
|
|
directory_name./mozilla
|
|
|
|
where directory_name is the name of the directory
|
|
you downloaded mozilla to. For example, the default
|
|
directory that Mozilla suggests is /usr/local/mozilla.
|
|
|
|
3. Type in a name for the icon, and type in a comment
|
|
if you wish.
|
|
|
|
4. Click the icon button and type in the following as
|
|
the icon's location:
|
|
|
|
directory_name/icons/mozicon50.xpm
|
|
|
|
where directory name is the directory where you
|
|
installed Mozilla. For example, the default directory
|
|
is /usr/local/mozilla/icons/mozicon50.xpm.
