Hi
I am new guy to Debian, just do me a help!
I just download the lastest version of firefox from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
and it is a tar file. I put the file in \root\download\
What I do is unpack the file using:
tar -xzvf firefox-1.5.0.4.tar.gz
after that, what should I do? i follow one notes by Acron_0248, but what he says is .configure and compile something, how can i do that?
I want to put the firefox in the Application/internet menus, anyone can help?

When you did tar -xzvf firefox-1.5.0.4.tar.gz, a new directory was created in /root/download/. It is probably named firefox/. It contains a complete firefox binary with static versions of every support file required to run the application. You do not have to do ./configure, make, make install. The executable is /root/download/firefox/firefox.

I downloaded a nightly which had an extension of .bz2. I found (via google) how to unpack it but it left me with a tar file. I used ark to unzip it but firefox will not run. I click on firefox (a shell script). I know I am missing something, just don't know what. I like the nightly's and all the new stuff.
