Hey,

I am running 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 and updgraded to firefox 2, my method follows...

Downloaded the tarball firefox-2.0.tar.gz, firefox 1.5 lives in /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.1/ so I created firefox-2 dir and dumped the tarball in there. Then modified the symbolic link /usr/bin/firefox to point to my new install dir
e.g.
[george@titan lib]$ which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
[george@titan lib]$ l /usr/bin/firefox
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Oct 26 09:52 /usr/bin/firefox -> /usr/lib/firefox-2/firefox

to create the link .... ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-2/firefox /usr/bin/firefox

hope this helps, i'd like to know how everyone else has installed their favourite browser

Hey all, has anyone tried to install Firefox 2.0? I installed Fedora 6 with no problems, but am trying to install firefox 2.0. I tried a yum install firefox-2*, and there was no match. I also downloaded the firefox tar ball, but don't see any install or makefiles. If anyone has any suggestions on how to get this thing installed, they would be greatly appreciated.
I made FC6 i386 rpms of Firefox 2.0. They are based on caillon's Firefox 2.0 FC7 source rpm.

Isn't this going to be in updates soon?

Thanks,
