INSTALLING FIREFOX IN LINUX
Step by step instruction
Because installing Firefox is different from all other install-routines I made a step by step instruction for it.
Download the file to your ¨/home/bruno¨ directory
You can get the lastes file Here
( Get the one that has Linux and does NOT have "installer" in the name )
After downloading it go to your home directory, open a terminal/console and type:
| CODE |
$ su
< password >
# mv firefox* /usr/local/bin/
# cd /usr/local/bin/
# tar -zxvf firefox* |
log out root:
Ctrl+d
Type ¨menudrake¨ and you´ll get a GUI where you can add an entry in --> Internet --> Web Browsers.
( NOTE: menudrake is for Mandrake . . for other distro´s type "kmenuedit" )
Make a new menu entry, call it Firefox and fill in as command: /usr/local/bin/firefox/firefox
Save
Close Menudrake
Close the console
And have a look in your ¨menu¨ it should be there !
( you can drag a shortcut from the menu on your desktop or ¨taskbar¨ )
If everything works okay you can delete the .tar.gz package from /usr/local/bin:
| CODE |
| # rm /usr/local/bin/*.tar.gz |
Happy browsing !
