Why do you want to download a tarball? Installing from a tarball, when
an RPM is available, is strongly discouraged, in the documentation
available on centos.org  If you want to change the Source code, get
the SRPM.  Have you uninstalled the Firefox RPM? If so "yum install
firefox" will get a new copy for you.  I am not positive, but I think
that after I installed one Firefox Plugin that didn't work, someone on
the list gave me a command, to get it up and running. If that's the
case, I don't remember the command, but you may be able to search the
archives or on the Mozilla Support site for information about that. GL
