Please find a different solution that works for you or provide an updated Portfile – there doesn't seem to be enough interest among the current MacPortsDevelopers, since nobody else has bothered to update the ports in a few years. I would strongly advise against running firefox-x11 in the state it was before I deleted it. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42087#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

Hi,

I understand your point and it makes sense. The only problem I have is I can’t find this software in any other place! I’ve looked for it hight and low! This port was interesting because you can run firefox on MAC with a X11 server. Could someone provided me with an url or repository from where I can download it (when I updated MacPorts, this ports was deleted).

kind regards

See the [wiki:howto/InstallingOlderPort InstallingOlderPort wiki page]. The latest version that was in trunk can be found at [browser:trunk/dports/www/firefox-x11?rev=111562]. My copy of the Portfile that I was working on but never finished can be found at https://github.com/cooljeanius/LocalPorts/tree/master/www/firefox-x11 Also Fink has multiple versions of the X11 version of firefox: http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/browse.php?name=firefox&noshlibsdev=on -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/42087#comment:6> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
