Jeez, thanks, I do not want to act "flippin" but when I search for firefox in the searh I get thousand of hits. I see that there are discussion from 2004 until today. If you know exactly where the "how to" link I would appreciate it. Prefered on that working with the latest and greatest version.

Thanks for the advice

Name calling is not nessary. The problem is with the "Search" with in this forum. I get an error 500. Second part to this is I'm not looking for a simplistic search or discussion I'm am looking for a solution that a person has tried and validated. If you are such a person than thank you. I appreciate it.

I used google to search and found this link: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=68505

Is this a valid way to install firefox using the above parameters or is this too experimental?

Please only respond if you have tried the above link and you can validate that it works.

Sincerely, "Lazy" Don

Since that how-to thread is about what you are trying accomplish, I'd suggest posting there since it is a recent active thread.

Fun reading but the trouble with this thread is its in the top 10 results both on Google and xbmc.org search.

I believe this is the original "we're" looking for: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=337470&postcount=7

Then the 2010 post http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=493009&postcount=1

The directions using launcher worked for me but when i click on firefox nothing happens. I have xbmc 9.11 and the newest version of launcher

On the above instruction the flash does not install and when I go and launch firefox nothing happens as well. My assumption is there is a few things to look at, such that:
1. Permission may need to change the file to exacute
2. possible that firefox did not install properly.

Thanks for the confirmation; however, I looking for someone that has installed the above instruction and ensure that it is working.

Thanks Lazy Don

That is the second post in the thread and wasn't why I started the thread originally and while I wish it worked, I thought a Ubuntu setup was my intent FWIW. Sorry, I haven't bothered to try the "launcher" thing.

I just close XBMC and run Firefox from the Gnome desktop

Has anyone had any luck with this? I'm having the same problem, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong to save my life. I'm on an Acer Revo 1600 running the latest Launcher and XBMC Live . . . Launcher pops something up real quick, disappears, and nothing else happens.

I've even wiped the box and reinstalled fresh but . . same thing.
