I want to install firefox and I have two files that both can have something to do with installing
there is one run-mozilla.sh and the other firefox-bin
which one do I need to choose and can you pls give a short explaination how to install
Do the following:
On console: switch to "root" by su.
#./run-mozilla.sh (enter). There is also the bash-completition availaible. So you donīt have to type in "./run-mozilla.sh". Just type "./run-mo" and then press "TAB".
I don't have a similar setup in front of me, but I seem to recall that there is an executable script simply named "firefox". Is there also a README file?
You cant break anything, so just try some obvious choices, starting with ./firefox
this is the result, what can I do next and what is the cause
ernst@ubuntu:~$ su
Password:
root@ubuntu:/home/ernst# cd /home/ernst/firefox
root@ubuntu:/home/ernst/firefox# ./run-mozilla.sh
run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute .
root@ubuntu:/home/ernst/firefox# ./firefox-bin
./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
root@ubuntu:/home/ernst/firefox#
