firefox for gusty kubuntu

[mathiraj]

i just did a fresh install of kubuntu gusty.

tried to install firefox. "aptitude install firefox" listed all the following packages as dependencies.

Why do I have to install all these libraries include some gnome libraries to just install firefox? Is there a workaround to just only install firefox?

Re: firefox for gusty kubuntu

never mind my prev post. I just added swift fox repositories to my sources.list and installed swiftfox, which doesn't have 100 other dependencies. And it works great!!!

Thanks Teunis for the reply though.
