Curl in Linux Firefox 17 fix


You must follow the advice at communities.curl.com concerning main process and

dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.libcurl-surge.so 

which you must add to the Firefox about:config page as a boolean using a right-click and NEW ; set it to false

Restart Firefox.

Curl app's should now run again in Firefox.

I have tested this solution with Curl 8.0 in CentOS 6.4 i386 in Firefox 17.0.6 in a situation where Curl ran fine in linux Opera, IDE was good but Curl would not run in Firefox.

CentOS prep included adding gcc environment for libstdc.so, libssl for libcrypt.so and libXext packages installed priot to installing RTE and IDE.

CentOS 32-bit is being run in VirtualBox on Windows 7 64-bit SP1 Home Prem on an i7 Quad core with 16GB of RAM.  CentOS is given 1024M and 8GB fixed virtual disk.
