Re: Installing Firefox 4 beta 2 in N900 - howto?

I also had plenty of issues installing Fennec Beta on Maemo.

What I do is resort to terminal.

Yesteday after App Manager added the Beta catalog and said Fennec was
already installed (it was, but B1) I went to Terminal and typed:

apt-get install fennec

and it quits saying "Silently failing to process handler" (or
something of that sort).

Then I typed:

apt-get upgrade

and that happily upgraded it.

However, last time I had Fennec installed from the Ovi Repo I had to
play a lot with apt-get in order to install the Beta.
