Although "double-click" is used in the desktop it is not the usual way in the case of installing packages. If I were in that situation <as I did always> these I do:
1.Download from here
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...getfirefox-com the latest firefox <tar.bz2> with pre-built binary.
2. Remove or de-install the running firefox, your distro has a way of uninstalling the firefox, do it the normal way.
3. Go-to the downloaded folder of latest firefox, open up a terminal and extract:
Code:
tar -xjf *firefox*.tar.bz2
sudo cp -r firefox /opt
sudo rm -f /usr/bin/firefox
cd /usr/bin && sudo ln -s -T /opt/firefox/firefox-bin firefox
Launch the firefox anywhere and you are now running the latest.
Hope that helps. Good luck and enjoy.
m.m.
