Looking at the earlier question, it appears that the instructions worked for Firefox 3.6, but that has been removed from the Centos mirrors.

Internally, we use https://maven.atlassian.com/content/groups/public/com/atlassian/browsers/

I've updated the setup script with your change (and also included pango and dbus-glib libraries).

Alternatively, I could provide you with an Ubuntu image with content matching the standard Amazon Linux images if you want.

Okay, I figured it out. Centos 5.9 was released on January 18, and it has the newer version of Firefox that won't install cleanly.

Using the instructions mentioned earlier, but changing the CentOS version to this:

centosMajorVersion=5
centosMinorVersion=8
centosVersion=${centosMajorVersion}.${centosMinorVersion}

meant I could install Firefox 3.6.

Which leaves the question: how do you install Firefox 10?

Note that as of March 8, the Centos mirror list doesn't provide a mirror for Centos 5.8 anymore.

So that goes back to the underlying problem of how do you install the support libraries that Firefox needs on the base AMI used by Bamboo?

Michael Averto

Could you explain a little how to use the https://maven.atlassian.com/content/groups/public/com/atlassian/browsers/

with the script from:

Robert Watkins

Michael,

The maven artefacts mentioned allow you to pull down pre-built & packaged browsers. You then unzip them and run them.

Michael Averto

Robert, thanks for the help. I apologize if I'm missing something but shouldn't I be able to then add this to my POM.xml as a dependency?

I'm running into an issue with

&lt;dependency&gt;
    &lt;groupId&gt;com.atlassian.browsers&lt;/groupId&gt;
	&lt;artifactId&gt;firefox&lt;/artifactId&gt;
	&lt;version&gt;21.0&lt;/version&gt;
&lt;/dependency&gt;

as I can't resolve the -linux at the end of the filename with the above as it would yield:

https://maven.atlassian.com/content/groups/public/com/atlassian/browsers/firefox/21.0/firefox-21.0.jar

instead of:

https://maven.atlassian.com/content/groups/public/com/atlassian/browsers/firefox/21.0/firefox-21.0-linux.jar
