install in another directory... like /home/(username)/firefox/ that is how I used to run 1.0.6 before it hit the reps :) & make a link like you did ;) dont forget to get the flash stuff :) <div>On 7/27/05, ausaitis <<a href="mailto:ausaitis@gmail.com">ausaitis@gmail.com</a> > wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Having recently transitioned from Windows XP to ubuntu, I would like to continue testing both Firefox and Thunderbird nightly builds as I have been doing under XP for a very long time. I would, however, like to keep a stable version of FF and TB installed alongside the nightly builds. Clearly, installing FF 1.0.6 from the sec rep is easy enough, but for the life of me I can't work out how to install an additional nightly build so that it uses its own separate directories for both binaries and profile. The same question would also hold true for Thunderbird. I have downloaded the tar.gz files from the Mozilla ftp and I have installed Firefox by placing the binaries in a /opt/firefox directory. I then created a custom app launcher under Gnome and provided the path to /opt/firefox/firefox with the -p option to create a separate profile folder, but at this point it insists on running the existing 1.0.6 installation and ignoring the nightly? Would some one be able to walk me through the steps necessary to achieve my objectives please?
