1.3. How to update my builds of Firefox (my own way)
Here is my usual way of updating my builds of Firefox:
- Uncompress the self-extracting file of my build into an appropriate folder.
- Open the folder in which an old version of my build has been installed and backup the following files and folders as needed.
- searchplugins folder
- plugins folder
- tmemutil.ini file (if exists)
- folder specified by the PortableDataPath (if portable mode is enabled)
- Remove the old version of my build.
- Restore the files and folders from backup into a new version as needed.
- Change Firefox's locale setting to your locale if necessary.
- Install a language pack if necessary.
1.4. How to localize the English version of Firefox
"Firefox private build" is English version, but you can localize it in the following way:
- First, install the XPI language pack. It will be possible to get the official packages from the following URL. Replace the part of
(Firefox's version)
with the string of Firefox's version (3.0.0, etc). It is necessary to match the version of Firefox and the version of the XPI language pack:- http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/(Firefox's version)/win32/xpi/
- ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/(Firefox's version)/win32/xpi/
-
Next, change Firefox's locale setting to your locale. Here are three examples:
- Open or create the user.js file contained in the profile folder and add the following line.
user_pref("intl.locale.requested", "ja"); - Enter about:config in the Firefox's location bar and change the value of
intl.locale.requested
fromen-US
to your locale string. - Change the command-line string of Firefox like the following:
"~\firefox.exe" -UILocale ja
- Open or create the user.js file contained in the profile folder and add the following line.
