The problem is that I need to sync Firefox bookmarks between my PC and my notebook, but the notebook uses the Firefox version 29.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 and the PC using Firefox version 24.4.0 on Slackware 14.1 64 bits and when I go to Help> about Firefox, it says Firefox is updated. The old sync does not work with the new according to what I read on the Mozilla site, so I need Firefox version 29.0 to sync with the notebook, but I can not find.txz for Slackware.

Simply download tar.bz2 archive from Mozilla site, unpack it to /opt and make a symlink to /usr/local/bin:
ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin 
This is a handy script that downloads the latest firefox and creates a slackware package. https://gist.github.com/ruario/9672798
Here you are :) Firefox 29 Slackware package.
- This package is for 32 bit, I need 64 bits. Sorry I forgot to say before!Patterson– Patterson2014-05-14 19:36:40 +00:00Commented May 14, 2014 at 19:36
