    Smile Fedora Browser problem

    Hi all,

    I am using Fedora 8 version. It has firefox 2.0 version installed. I downloaded firefox 3.6 and tried to install it. I could not run run-mozilla.sh it said cannot execute.

    Then i followed the instruction given in the site and removed the directory in the location /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.19.

    Then I unzipped it and put the firefox 3.6 in /usr/lib/ directory and entered and gave firefox at the command prompt and got the following error.

    /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.19/firefox-bin not found

    Now I couldnt start my web browser. I am forced to use windows. Can anyone help me to fix this issue. How to install firefox 3.6 and fix the issue for me to open my web browser from fedora 8.

    Thanks

    No longer support is available for Fedora 8. I think you should upgrade your system.

    Try the previous solution, if you face a problem.

    Code:
    chmod +x run-mozilla.sh
    makes run-mozilla.sh executeable. And try again as root.
