firefox installation
 

How to download and install Firefox in my Linux machine.I don't have any other browser. so tell me a way to download the code.

Which Linux distribution are you using? Most will have it in their repositories which is the best way to do it. Otherwise, the download site is at the link below.

And here is a step-by-step guide for installing Firefox (in /opt), for pretty much any distro:

Hi,

You can get Firefox from; http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/
via a ftp client. You can download on your MS Window based system then move to your Gnu/Linux. Or just use from cli on the Gnu/Linux; 'wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...x-39.0.tar.bz2' for the x86_64 version.

As other members have indicated, the Gnu/Linux in use repository would be even better and much easier for you to install for their package.

Please consider reading; http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...#faq_lqwelcome so you can post a query in the future that will help us to help you since you failed to include valued information.

Hope this helps!
Have fun & enjoy!
