I'm having a problem installing firefox on mandrake 10. ive already extracted the tarball file I downloaded from the website and typed
./firefox-installer
it seemed to run just fine and the "welcome to firefox" window popped out. But when I clicked the continue button on the lower right corner, the window disappeard and the console displayed:
I unpacked and installed from the GUI and it worked like a charm. I noted that this was the nicest install I have ever done in linux. This was using the GNOME file manager (nautilus? which I am not liking too much) All the files appear to still reside on a user desktop folder, not buried in /usr/local... or /usr/bin... App runs great. Reading the threads, I can't quite figure out why mine is working, but it is.
