Creating an icon for Mozilla .

[Lights]

Ok I just installed mozilla firefox or at least believe I did with this here.

apt-get remove iceweasel
mv firefox-3.0.5.tar.bz2 /usr/lib/
cd /usr/lib/
tar -jxvf firefox-3.0.5.tar.bz2
ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox

I now need to make a launcher for firefox via launcher application.

My only question is when I run the custom application launcher. What do I place in the command section? Because after multiple tries I think I am targeting the wrong files out of the firefox folder.

Thanks

Should be /usr/bin/firefox.

It looks like you're following this guide. There is a launcher file he provides at the end there.

Just curious: why are you replacing Iceweasel with Firefox? The only difference between the two I have noticed is the name and the icon. I even replaced my ~/.mozilla on my Debian lenny with the ~/.mozilla from my Ubuntu 9.10 and it works fine!

What I do when I want to find the command for any program launcher I want to make whether in Icewm, JWM, Fluxbox, etc... is to open a terminal and just type in (lets say it is firefox)

which firefox

right now I am running a live USB on this New Desktop (Asus Micro)

example below

demo@antiX1:~$ which iceape
/usr/bin/iceape
demo@antiX1:~$ which gparted
/usr/bin/gparted
demo@antiX1:~$ which mplayer
/usr/bin/mplayer

This is a quick way to find the right command for any program you may have installed and wish to make a launcher for.
