Firefox

Firefox 24.0 is available for download in OLPC OS 13.2.0 on XO-1 and XO-1.5; switch to Gnome desktop, start Terminal and paste this:

sudo yum install -y firefox

Firefox 3.5.9 is included in OLPC OS 10.1.3 and can be activated from Gnome desktop.

Installing Adobe Flash

Firefox on OLPC OS does not include Adobe Flash plugin, and as a result some web sites do not work as designed. To install the plugin see Adobe Flash, in particular the section for Browse.

Sugar

See Firefox/Obsolete for a Sugarised Firefox for old OLPC OS releases prior to 10.x.

Firefox can also run from within Terminal. Type firefox at the Terminal prompt and press enter.

Security Updates

Since OLPC OS 10.1.3 is based on Fedora 11, and Fedora 11 security updates have ceased, there are no further updates to Firefox. Deployments who need a more recent version of Firefox should replace the one in OLPC OS as their build is constructed.
