Issue

  • Unable to update firefox 10(from Red Hat) to firefox version 42(from mozilla.org). The update is being unsuccessful.
  • While trying to check the version, getting below error:

    # firefox -V
    XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/local/firefox/libxul.so:
    libgio-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    Couldn't load XPCOM.
    
  • Will firefox 42(from mozilla.org) be supported on RHEL5? If not, what will be the latest version that would be supported?
