Mozilla Firefox is a graphical web browser developed by the Mozilla Corporation and a large community of external contributors. Firefox started as a fork of the Navigator browser component of the Mozilla Application Suite. Firefox has replaced the Mozilla Suite as the flagship product of the Mozilla project, under the direction of the Mozilla Foundation.
To display web pages, Firefox uses the Gecko layout engine, which implements most current web standards in addition to several features which are intended to anticipate likely additions to the standards. Latest Firefox features include tabbed browsing, spell checking, incremental find, live bookmarking, a download manager, private browsing, location-aware browsing (also known as 'geolocation') based exclusively on a Google service and an integrated search system that uses Google by default in most localizations. Functions can be added through add-ons, created by third-party developers, of which there is a wide selection, a feature that has attracted many of Firefox's users. Mozilla Firefox is a cross-platform browser, providing support for various versions of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Using X11 in Mountain Lion | 17 comments | Create New Account

This was also the case in 10.7, unless something more has changed in 10.8 regarding this...
@macavenger X11 was built into Lion, I never had to install xquartz.
xQuartz is working fine for me in 10.8 for access to the vWorkspace tools.
If you try to launch an X11 application, the OS automatically directs you to download links for this software.
X11 is simply not installed by default, the first time you use an application that requires X11 the OS will ask you if you want to install it.
Over the past few years I have used XQuartz over Apples X11 because Apple was always a bit behind the X11 version. The problem with XQuartz is that you need to re-install it every time there is an update to the system software. When I switched to 10.8 yesterday all I did was re-install XQuartz and all works fine.
I wonder if the reinstall thing is still true. Apple's own support page now says to use XQuartz if you want X11, and says they contributed to the latest version. Maybe that means it will get auto updated along with everything else in the future?
Works as described.
Fink refused to work for me until I did this
Anyone got Gimp working with this? It asks 'Where is X11?'
I've installed XQuartz, and I have Gimp 2.8.0 from gimp.lisanet.org. Xterm For Mac Os X
As I said on the other post, simply select XQuartz - after having (re)installed it - in the Utilities folder, relaunch the Gimp, and everything should work again.
BTW, a new Gimp for build Mountain Lion is now available from the developer's website: http://gimp.lisanet.de ![]() ![]()
Of course: *in the other post*; *a new Gimp build for*; sorry for the typos...
Cheers, worked great!
I just needed to 'Browse' away from the provided app list after launch Gimp, and click on XQuartz in /Applications/Utilities.
I do still use X11 frequently.
This works as described. I loaded up the new version of X11 and was back online in about 10 minutes from completing the move to the new version of OS X.
Is there any benefit to installing X11 through macports instead?
This surprised me last week when I upgraded, because no report had mentioned this. However, I can report that so far, it works perfectly on all apps I've tried that relied on X11 (e.g., MATLAB 2012a).
BTW, if you upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion and already had XQuartz installed, you must reinstall it, from the link above: this will also remove the old X11 app, leaving only XQuartz, as if it were a 'clean' Mountain Lion system.
When I launched the Gimp, there came up a window asking where X11 was: I just selected XQuartz in the Utilities folder, then relaunched the Gimp, and everything is now working.
Hello,
In earlier Macs clicking on X11 in dock used to open a new 'screen' where I could run window manager like fvwm. This no longer happens. Is that fixable? Has anybody been successful with running an X11 window manager in Mountain Lion? Thanks, Mark Xterm On Mac Os X
@mzp3769: The 'window manager' is the Mac OS window manager; the XQuartz display uses the Mac display as the X root window.
I installed XQuartz after my Mountain Lion upgrade, loaded and started the plist, and everything works. (I hate reboots.) I don't even have to run xterm; X applications start just fine from the OS X Terminal.app now. Beautiful. I mostly use X to run Eclipse and SlickEdit from Linux development hosts, and X over ssh is working perfectly, from Terminal. Comments are closed.
