Firefox question

L

Lugo

FreeBSD 9.1 x64 KDE

My favorite online game will play on any Firefox versions except 17 and 18... and I have 17 installed :(

Can someone please tell me how to install another version?
 
If you haven't already installed/updated your ports tree run # portsnap fetch extract update. For details see the portsnap() man page.

To upgrade www/firefox, you have a few options. You can install a pre-compiled binary package or compile the port. I'll let others describe the package option and I'll describe how to install via ports.

You could do # make -C /usr/ports/www/firefox deinstall install clean, but life is much easier if you manage ports with portmaster(). If you don't have portmaster() installed already, do # make -C /usr/ports/pkg-mgmt/portmaster install clean. Next do # portmaster www/firefox.

For details see the handbook section on ports/packages.
