How do I install firefox 1.0.4 after downloading it.

I am Linux Newbie, and this is the first day that I have had FC3 up and running.

If you got the firefox installer from mozilla.org, you really didn't have to. The simplist way to get the latest Firefox version is to either use up2date or use yum. I prefer yum. If you haven't done so already, get the yum.conf at http://www.fedorafaq.org/#getsoftware and do (as root):

Code:

yum update firefox

Or if you want to update your entire system do:

Code:

yum update

This may take a while depending on how many packages need updating.
If you already downloaded the firefox rpm from an update mirror you can just do this as root:

Code:

rpm -Uhv firefox_rpm_name.rpm

Hope this helps

go to the directory where the files exists (unpack it) and run the installer with ./firefox-installer
