want to update Firefox.

I download new versions of Firefox, extract them but don't know how to install them.

You don't need to install it, just go to the directory created by the tarfile,
and run firefox

Code:

/dir-where-you-extracted-firefox/firefox/firefox

Kind regards

What means; "just go to the directory created by the tarfile" Where is directory, what is tarfile?

Go to the directory where you downloaded the file
then do

Code:

tar -xvjf firefox-blabla-tar.bz2
cd firefox
./firefox

Kind regards

ok. let's get it simpler. this can be done without the command line .

1download the firefox from the mozilla site to your desktop .

2on your dekstop you should have a file now named firefox and there says it's version in the name ..

3right click on that file and click °extract file here° if you see that option . if not , then double click on it.

4if the right click thing worked , go in the decompressed directory , should be named firefox . find a file named firefox and double click on it . it should be firefox with no other thing around

55with double click , look on top of the windows that just opened . there should be some extract here or something like that option.

if that worked , follow option 4 from the second sentence to the end .
