Firefox tweaks: Browse the Internet like a Google bot!

I think Firefox is included with the latest testing version of Debian GNU/Linux...
if you aren't using Debian, you can download the official binary or source code at
http://www.getfirefox.com

here is the direct download link of the latest version for GNU/Linux:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...ux-i686.tar.gz

after installing it, create a symlink or launcher on the desktop to <install_dir>/firefox and double click this icon you'll start the firefox.

Anyways I've seen no reason to use Firefox if you already have Mozilla, as Mozilla contains all the functions in Firefox.

I use Mandrake 10.1, and <install_dir>= wherever I want?

They tell me to run some command-line stuff

           tar -xzvf firefox-1.0.installer.tar.gz
          cd firefox-installer
          ./firefox-installer

But then it appears it cannot find the tar.gz...

Doesnt mandrake have a nice rpm for such things?
Anyways where did you save the firefox file? You can extract it with a gui it via konqueror(kde) or file-roller(gnome) aswell(just right-click on the file). Then just click on the installer file.

Yup, but firefox comes in a tar.gz, not a rpm...

P.S.= This thread has been officially hijacked. Resistance is futile.

...or use Windows as desktop OS like anyone else

or, use ATOS, the Official Operating System of the Adeptus Telepathica.
