[Galeon-user] Mozilla on fedora fc15 ??

[William W. A. <ai...@at...>]

I recently upgraded my main workstation to Fedora fc15, and now I have 
a major browser problems.

I've been using galeon for what feels like forever and prefer it over 
firefox, seamonkey, google-chrome, opera, and the others I've tried.  
And I have a set of useful bookmarks that would take a loooooong time 
to hand edit and copy to a new browser.  Not to mention passwords.

Now even before doing the install, I realized that there was no galeon 
rpm in the distribution, but I have many years experience recompiling 
packages to 'non-supported' releases and I didn't anticipate any major 
"problems."

OK, I was wrong.

So some questions:

1. First, has anyone figured out (or done) a port to fc15 at this 
point?   

2. Failing that, does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?  
(I know it has to use the current release of firefox, but I don't know 
if the jump to firefox 5 broke that permanently.  I'm also wondering 
whether there are other problems I haven't run into out.  I DID try 
installing (in parallel) the last fc14 version of firefox on this 
machine and setting MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME to k, but it didn't seem to 
help.)

3. Finally, if all else fails, I need to convert my bookmarks, cookies, 
and saved passwords from my $HOME/.galeon directory so that I can use 
them with another browser (either seamonkey or firefox).  Does a 
utility already exist?  If not some suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,
 - wwa
