Installing Firefox - version doesn't change???

[Dougal]

It's a funny old game this Linux stuff.
I decided to see if I could update my Firefox install that comes with Crunchbang Linux (cut-down Ubuntu).
I followed the Mozilla instructions to the letter and the first thing I found was that I had missing files and or directories. With this in mind and thinking about it - I uninstalled my current Firefox with the Package manager.
I then followed the install instrcutions again but, this time telling the system where to find the .tar.bz2 file I donwloaded (version 3.6 from the mozilla site).
Everything appeared to extract and following the instructions for starting Firefox - I got version 3.0.17, exactly the same as I already had.
Does anyone know what is happening here? The Mozilla site is a waste of time, I have never heard back after making any queries through their forum.
Thanks guys....

Go to Preferences -> Openbox Config -> Edit menu.xml

Search for all occurences of Firefox and update the paths under <execute> to the new versions path and then click save.

You may need to log off and on again

The openbox root menu is not dynamic, which means it will not change to reflect what is actually on your system. It's up to you to edit the menu appropriately, as elija noted.

Al done and dusted regarding new version of Firefox now just have to find the damned window border size to make larger.

thanks guys.
