Ubuntu – How to run Firefox inside wine with windows compatible plugins

You should check out the Wine App Database, it lists programs that have been tested on Wine, along with test results.

http://appdb.winehq.org/

Some programs work great, some don't, some require patches or dirty fixes e.g. Winetricks. Luck of the draw really. Either way the App DB is great as it contains reports on Windows applications that have been tested and detail how successful the program was on a specific distro.

It might not have all the Windows programs in the world, but it certainly lists most of the mainstream Windows applications.

Use playonlinux for installing it instead; it's easier to use.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E0F72778C4676186
sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_quantal.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux

After launching PlayOnLinux, click Install and search for Microsoft Office, then select Microsoft Office 2010.
