Hi

I downloaded firefox 3.0.10 from mozilla' website because the 3.0.5 version of iceweasel i have running is crashing a LOT when using it to access flash movies, but it also gets segmentation faults several times on other sites where i cannot see that flash is used, so i thought i might upgrade or just use a newer version.

So i downloaded mozilla firefox 3.0.10 from the offical mozilla site and extracted the contents of the .bz file. Then when i executed "firefox", "run-mozilla.sh" or any other script/binary that should start firefox i get this message:
bash: ./firefox: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

When i look at the files i see they all start with "#!/bin/bash" and are shell scripts that the bash shell should understand (im using bash like most other people).

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Hi, first of all check that you have execute permissions on the script (and any executables it might call) and that the partition isn't mounted with the noexec option. Second : check that you have all dependencies installed (they should be there since you use 3.0.5, but checking never hurts).
Check that there is no empty line before the #!/bin/bash line. Check if /bin/bash and /bin/sh are the same (are softlinked).
Last, you may try running "sh run-mozilla.sh"

Oh, i forgot that.. i actually had a readme file with capital letters in my home directory reminding me that i had the home dir. mounted "noexec" for security reasons (guess that doesnt work as a reminder and i end up in situations like this).. didnt remember it at all.. thanks for you answer, that reminded me of it
