Using Firefox with Cadence 5.x.x

    Hello,

    Does anyone know how make Cadence for linux work with Firefox instead of
    Netscape?

    I tried making a link called netscape pointing to Firefox( as suggested
    for 64bit linux which has no netscape), but that doesn't work. It
    still gives a message that it can't find Netscape.

    When Firefox is started manually before opening documents everything
    works just fine!


    thanks,

    Gerard

    I found out myself already!

    For anyone who cares, here's the solution:

    1. Give r-x rights to "everyone" for all firefox files.
    2. Create a link called netscape-bin to firefox-bin
    3. Create a link called netscape to firefox somewhere in your search path.

    regards,

    Gerard

    In newer versions of cdsdoc, you can specify the browser (if I remember
    rightly). The version in IC5141 is not the latest, so you have to workaround it
    as above (or start the browser first).

    Regards,

    Andrew.
