Hello,
I've searched this site and really haven't found anything that will help me with Installing FireFox.
I extracted it to a new folder that I created.
When I click on the firefox installer executable I get a dialogue box that says this.
"firefox - installer is an executable text file. Do you want to run it or display it's contents.

When I click run nothing really happens but a screen flash real quick.
When I click Run in Terminal, a terminal box flashes up really quick and goes away.
Whats the trick to getting this installed or that matter anything that is downloaded? I downloaded it from the above mentioned link. mozilla.org.
Dmac

Open a terminal window. Change to the directory and type
this should bring up the install program.

proxyghost,
When I open a terminal window and I enter this( /home/darren/Extracted FireFox) for the directory that I extracted to and hit enter I get a message that says no such file or directory. I don't think I'm doing this correctly.
Dmac,

use the command
cd /home/skip/firefox-installer
This should let you change to the directory.
(be sure to change the directory names to fit what you used.)

I get no such file or directory with that command also.
Dmac,

What directory did you extract to?
if you extracted it to a folder with spaces in the name you would need to type it lik e so
oh and remember that everything is case sensitive in the terminal

proxyghost,
I now get a little further. I enter cd '/home/darren/extracted firefox' and hit enter I get > and then I enter sh firefox-installer and hit enter I get another >
Whats next?
Dmac,

Thanks for the help,
I'm really getting frustrated with linux. It really shouldn't be this difficult to just install a program. Why not click on the .exe and have the program install. Sounds kinda like windows.
Anyways thanks for the help on this one.
Dmac,

It's not that difficult... it's just different. It's like learning a different language. You'll learn the basics gradually, but if you get frustrated easily then Linux might drive you nuts.

Go to the directory with the firefox-installer and type (without the quotes) "./firefox-installer".

Linux does take a good bit of time to learn and can be frustrating at times. I hope I was able to give atleast some help in any case and that you were able to get firefox up and running.
