Hello all,

I have installed fedora kde. But I can't seem to figure out as to how to install Firefox.

Can anyone please guide me as to how to install it.

Thank you for reading.

Thanks a lot. It worked :-)

I need to learn commands now.

su -c "yum install xzy"

in a terminal will install any software available in the Fedora repositories (i.e. most unencumbered free open-source software, such as Firefox as you've discovered). The "Add/Remove Software" application does the same thing in a graphical way, or you can install "yumex" for a more technical graphical interface. For some more legally challenging software (e.g. codecs), add the RPM Fusion repos: http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration

Hi all, how do we make shortct on desktop?

Thanks

Create a .desktop file on your desktop or copy the system wide one (as normal user):

PHP Code:

cp /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop ~/Desktop
chmod +x ~/Desktop/firefox.desktop 


Of course your WM must show the desktop icons for you to actually see them.
