How to: Install Latest Version of Firefox in Linux
Installing the latest version of firefox in Linux is always a pain in the a**. Its not the most difficult thing to do with linux. But still a very few people manage to do this. Here I’m going to explain How to do it.
Download the Firefox from Here.
Now extract it by right clicking or by using the command
sudo tar xvjf filename.tar.bz2
Now move it to the installation folder by issuing the command,
sudo mv firefox-3.6 /usr/lib/
Now Update all firefox Shortcuts in the System by creating a link in /usr/bin. For that type in the following command.
sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
Thats it. Done. Now when you open firefox, the updated version will be opened.
PS: After issuing the first command the system may ask for administrator password., So type in the password. Or if you already are the administrator or logged in as root, just avoid the sudo from each command.
