2nd: Extract the files inside into "/usr/firefox".
Note: You can run Firefox by clicking on the file named "firefox" inside, but we need to make it open the new Firefox when clicking the icons on the desktop and when clicking Firefox in the menu.
3rd: Right click on "browser" on your desktop and open it as text. (Back it up first just in case.)
4th:Make the file look like this:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/firefox/firefox "$@"
Note: Now the browser icon opens up the new Firefox.
5th: Go into "/usr/bin" and find "firefox", then back up "firefox".
6th: Open "firefox" as text, then make it look like this:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
#set -x
BROWSER=firefox #this script can be adapted to seamonkey
# check arch
ARCH=`uname -m`
[ $ARCH = x86_64 ] && lsuffix=64 || lsuffix=
EXEC=`find /usr/lib${lsuffix}/$BROWSER* -type f -name $BROWSER`
/usr/firefox/firefox "$@"
# when firefox closes we fix the cache, once only
[ -f $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/fixcacherc ] || fixcache
How to Get Future Updates: Go to "About Firefox" in Firefox's menu.
Enjoy using the new Firefox!
