| To have your bug fix / feature added to Mozilla, you should create a patch and | ||
| submit it to Bugzilla (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org). Instructions are at: | ||
|
|
||
| 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. | ||
| If you have a question about developing Mozilla, and can't find the solution | ||
| on http://developer.mozilla.org, you can try asking your question in a | ||
| mozilla.* Usenet group, or on IRC at irc.mozilla.org. [The Mozilla news groups | ||
| are accessible on Google Groups, or news.mozilla.org with a NNTP reader.] | ||
|
|
||
| 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 | ||
| with Bugzilla by pointing your IRC client to #mozillazine | ||
| at irc.mozilla.org. | ||
| You can download nightly development builds from the the Mozilla FTP server. | ||
| Keep in mind that nightly builds, which are used by Mozilla developers for | ||
| testing, may be buggy. Firefox nightlies, for example, can be found at: | ||

|
|
||
| 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. | ||
| For info on building the Mozilla source, see | ||

||
| 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. | ||
