How do I install Firefox?

[Bakshara]

Later versions of FireFox insert tabs instead of placing them at the very end.

I'm on 3.6.27 and if I right-click a link to open it in a new tab, it usually inserts it after the current (live) tab.

 

Not sure if this is what you're saying...

I copied this out of the About:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008043010 Fedora/3.0-0.60.beta5.fc9

Notice FireFox 3.0-0.60.beta5.

 

Yes I am wanting to have FireFox insert the tab when I click on it. The version I have now places all new tabs at the very end.

I'm downloading fedora 9 now. I'll let you know as soon as I have time to try it out myself to get the newest firefox working.

I know it has been a while, but here is what I have been trying (after downloading firefox-11.0.tar.bz2):

bash firefox-11.0.tar.bz2

[root@localhost /]# bash /home/Bakshara/Download/firefox-11.0.tar.bz2 /opt

What do I need to do to upgrade from FireFox 3.0Beta5 to FireFox 11.0?

you probably need to follow these instructions from step 3, or read this post first.

 

You've already downloaded the package, now it's a matter of extracting it.
