<div id="RTEContent">Colin, After you unzipped the file into the usr, did you then add it to your archive? I unzipped the tar file into a folder named Firefox, but left it in the home/temp the first time and it got deleted! I downloaded it again and put it in a folder Firefox, unzipped it, ran the installer, then added it to the archive. I don't know if that was the "proper method", but it worked! Good luck!

I ran it for a while, and it worked great! Then there was an upgrade for developing; 2.0. The Java Runtime from Firefox plug-ins installed fine on mine, but you can go to Sun Microsystems and get their 5.0 Java for i586 Intel if you need to for free. They have a couple of versions for browser installation and database Java control too!

I would probably agree that Ubuntu is not particularly Firefox friendly for some reason. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users </ulist></cb></blockquote> </div> -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users </blockquote> </div>
