How to install Firefox? - Daffi - 2006-02-05


Hi,

 

I use Fedora Core 4 x86-64 with the pre-installed 64bit Firefox Version

because it's not possible to install the Flash plugin on the 64bit Firefox I dl the 32 bit version

 

It's unpacked on my Desktop, but I dont know how to install it

 

I can't just replace it with my old Firefox, and there is no File in the Folder wich I can run

 

I use Linux since 2 Days, so don't lapidate me for this simple question :P

 

thanks for answers

 

Daffi

If you want to remove the old firefox, simply open a console and type su - inclusing the dash... enter your root password and do yum remove firefox. this is fedoras package manager and will remove the old firefox then you can install the new version :)

Hi!

 

Ok to upgrade software in Fedora you can use "yum":



Code:
yum upgrade firefox




 

This has some information how to do that: [/url]http://www.fedorafaq.org/#installsoftware
