Hi:

I have updated my system but I noticed that firefox was not upgrade. I clicked on the link provided in the homepage, download the version 1.5. Now it is in my desktop and I don't know what to do with the folder. How do you update your software?

Thanks

TC

I forgot to mention that my system is suse 10.0 and I update it online, but nothing happened to firefox

If you've downloaded the firefox 1.5 that folder is firefox 1.5. Go into that folder e clic on the file named firefox (you can do it using shell too).

I hope this could help

I have done that and the updated version on firefox is launched. however, the icon in my desktop still has the older version and there is no icon for the new version. One more thing where do I put the folder after if I get it done succesfully?

Thanks

TC

for the icon simply change the properties selecting the new url of firefox.

For the latter I haven't understood well what you want. Please could you be more clear (sorry for my english).

Ok. I installed Suse 10.0 in my PC, connected to the internet and download the necessaty updates but firefox main page kept telling me they had a newer version of firefox. I download this version and thougt that it will contain some sort of installation or upgrade. It is a comppressed file. I extracted it and now I have this folder in my desktop called firefox. What do I do with it? the new version is inside that folder, i guess, how do I install it? Where do I put the folder after installation? What happens to the older version of firefox? does it go away by itself? I clicked in the file "firefox" inside the folder and in launches the new version of firefox but I don't think it is installed... sorry for the many questions. I just moved from windows to Linux... you know in windows there's a wizard to help you install your software, do we have something like that in Suse?

Thanks for all your help

TC

Ok


That folder is the new firefox

You don't have to install anything. It's just installed.


Wherever you want. It's not important


It's still installed too. You could remove it deleting its directory.


There are some tools for example apt-get

Another suggestion to run the new version of firefox only. After removing the old version (find and remove it) you could create a link to the new one in the /usr/bin directory using the command ln -s (look for the man for further info)
