Here is what I did:
Code:
[root@localhost firefox]# ./run-mozilla.sh
run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute .
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/root
[root@localhost firefox]# exit
logout
[bakshara@localhost ~]$ /home/Bakshara/Download/firefox/./run-mozilla.sh
run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute .
[bakshara@localhost ~]$... and ...
Code:
[bakshara@localhost ~]$ /home/Bakshara/Download/firefox/./run-mozilla.sh
run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute .
[bakshara@localhost ~]$ chmod u+x /home/Bakshara/Download/firefox/run-mozilla.sh
chmod: changing permissions of `/home/Bakshara/Download/firefox/run-mozilla.sh': Operation not permitted
[bakshara@localhost ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@localhost ~]# chmod u+x /home/Bakshara/Download/firefox/run-mozilla.sh

Yeah you sucessfull gave the file execute permissions. try running this again:
/home/Bakshara/Download/firefox/./run-mozilla.sh
2012-02-08, 10:13 PM
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# chmod u+x /home/Bakshara/Download/firefox/run-mozilla.sh
[root@localhost ~]#Usually when a command returns nothing, it's an indication that something worked. It's only when it doesn't work do you tend to get an error message.
nb: you may want to consider using sudo rather than su.

[root@localhost ~]# /home/Bakshara/Download/firefox/./run-mozilla.sh

[root@localhost ~]#
Also what is the difference between sudo and su?

Code:
/home/Bakshara/Download/firefox/run-mozilla.shor if you're in that directory, just:
Code:
./run-mozilla.sh2012-02-11, 08:45 PM

I'm a bit confused here - are you trying to run it as "Bakshara" or as "root"...? It seems that there's ownership permissions between the two accounts there.

This is what you are basically trying to do from what your first post mentioned. Try and follow these instructions and it should work. Except in your case it's from firefox 3 to 10 instead of from 2 to 3. But shouldn't make a difference. Als download the file as normal user. And you want firefox 10 probably.
And then you can change the firefox icon properties to /opt/firefox/firefox &
so that your shortcuts/icon works.

Dungeon-Dave,
I'm a bit confused here - are you trying to run it as "Bakshara" or as "root"...? It seems that there's ownership permissions between the two accounts there.
I tried this both ways.
Feedmebits,
I downloaded firefox-10.0.tar.bz2.
For everyone,
When I extracted it here is what I got:
/home/Bakshara/Download/firefox
application.ini jsloader libssl3.so
blocklist.xml libfreebl3.chk libxpcom.so
chrome libfreebl3.so libxul.so
chrome.manifest libmozalloc.so mozilla-xremote-client
components libmozsqlite3.so omni.ja
crashreporter libnspr4.so platform.ini
crashreporter.ini libnss3.so plugin-container
crashreporter-override.ini libnssckbi.so precomplete
defaults libnssdbm3.chk removed-files
dependentlibs.list libnssdbm3.so run-mozilla.sh
dictionaries libnssutil3.so searchplugins
extensions libplc4.so Throbber-small.gif
firefox libplds4.so update.locale
firefox-bin libsmime3.so updater
hyphenation libsoftokn3.chk updater.ini
icons libsoftokn3.so
chrome, components, defaults, dictionaries, extensions, hyphenation, icons, jsloader, and searchplugins are directories.
