No, it doesn't.

I can't remember where the standard firefox is kept, but it's DEFINITELY not in your desktop.

It's somewhere in the /usr directory.

I can't help you, because I don't know enough to show you where everything is, because you don't know enough about the operating system and the directory structure for me to explain things to you.

Thanks purelithium for the comments.

I looked into the 'src' folder.

It has the RPM folder. I will find it out and come back to you. I know what you mean here. That file is equal to an .exe file in Windows environment. I must find it. Where is it?

Could you tell me the name of that file?

I recall it firmly on my old computer. I just went into the Firefox folder and double click
that file. Then the Firfox browser starts. Now that file is in some other place.

I must copy it onto the Firefox folder.

What is the name of that file?

The Firefox that comes with Mandriva (ie. 1.0.6) installs in the various directories under the /usr tree. The executable is /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox

The Firefox that you downloaded in the .tar.gz file installed to wherever you extraced it. The .tar.gz file is the same type of thing as a zip file and the way you use them is the same as with most zip files on Windows - extract the contents to a folder and it from there. The executable from the .tar.gz is just named firefox and is in that folder you extracted the file out to. You should be able to just go into that folder and double click the file to run firefox.

Is this what you were asking?
