Firefox 3 and 3.5 system requirements

gtk 2.10
glib 2.12
pango 1.1.4

X.org 1 (Slackware 7) is good enough ;=)

"Recommended for optimal functionality":  DBus 1.0
- but apparently 3.5 now requires it.

(And it would be too old if it did have it).

Perhaps it could be compiled to use older libraries and no dbus.  Where 
would I look for such a package?

--------------

DSL 4.3 (2006) used a 14.3MB binary of Bon Echo 2.0 (Gecko 2006120) 
Mozilla 5 i686 and kernel 2.4.31.  This is Firefox 2.0.

DSL 4.4.10 still uses Firefox 2.0 GTK-1.2 i386 "with reduced space 
requirement".

The latest DSL DILLO does SSL, tabs and frames.
Compiling with __enable-ssl makes https readable but it does not check 
certificates, it says.
You need fltk2 and autogen.sh

I compiled 8.6 (later versions would not compile for me) but they are now 
up to 2.1.1.  Steven, can you compile it for BL?

They now have gphone internet telephone.

I will attempt to get these versions working in BL.
