Ya i did the same thing.. When i run that script, it will just open the firefox browser , it has not been updated to latest version as i can see in
Help---> About Mozilla firefox.... Its still showing the older version......
Your link is still aimed at the old version of firefox so you need to update it.
Let's assume that you have unpacked the new version of firefox to /usr/lib/firefox (change the location below as necessary if you have unpacked it somewhere else)
Open a terminal and either as root or sudo use
ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
This will change the link so that it points at the new version.
You may find (depending upon your distro) that when you type the above that you get '/usr/bin/firefox: File exists' in which case delete the old version first by using (also as root or sudo)
