LinuxQuestions.org - Swiftweasel doesn't run in Fedora 10

This is my second attempt attempt to use a Linux system. I'm a Linux newb, and both times I've hit the wall of installing third-party applications hard. This time I'm trying to use Swiftweasel instead of Firefox, because Firefox is very slow in Linux (not just page-load but especially things like scroll speed and other navigating).

I downloaded the appropriate Swiftweasel tarball, (Intel 64bit) from here and unpacked the tar.gz to a place.

This is where various support sources started getting useless. There is no configure or make file in this tarball. It instead contains the executables, I think. Here's what's in it.

Code:

application.ini          LICENSE

blocklist.xml            modules

browserconfig.properties  mozilla-xremote-client

chrome                    old-homepage-default.properties

components                platform.ini

defaults                  plugins

dictionaries              README-Swiftweasel

extensions                README.txt

firefox                  removed-files

firefox-bin              res

greprefs                  rpref.txt

icons                    run-mozilla.sh

LEGAL                    searchplugins

libjemalloc.so            swiftweasel

libmozjs.so              swiftweasel-bin

libsqlite3.so            swiftweasel-icon-license.txt

libxpcom_core.so          updater

libxpcom.so              updater.ini

Nothing applicable to any method of installing things is present in there.

More confusingly, there is the swiftweasel executable already. When I try to execute it, I get this:

Code:

cp: cannot stat `/home/Steven/.mozilla-trunk/swiftweasel': No such file or directory

mv: cannot stat `/tmp/swiftweasel': No such file or directory

no settings directory check file creation bypassed

Cannot find mozilla runtime directory. Exiting.

swiftweasel-bin (the other executable) gives this:

Code:

bash: ./swiftweasel-bin: /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

So is this a compatibility issue? Am I missing something basic? (Wouldn't be the first time).
