I just got a computer with the Linspire operating system on it. The browser that came with it wasn't very good, so I went to CNR and had Firefox installed. But their latest version was 1.5. I know that 2.0 is out there, but I have no idea how to download and install it. This Linux is new to me and I don't want to mess something up.

What version of Linspire?

Linspire 5.0

You can either install it manually, or wait for the next version of Linspire to be finished and released.

You're really not missing much.

I don't know how to install it manually. Firefox 2.0 was a lot better than 1.5 on a windows machine.

download and save the firefox-2.0.0.3-tar.gz file to your desktop.

open up a terminal. enter the following:

$ cd Desktop
$ gzip --decompress firefox*.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf firefox*.tar
$ rm firefox*.tar
$ cd firefox*
$ ls

You should see all the files in the folder. One will be named something like "firefox" or "firefox-bin"

$ ./firefox (or ./firefox-bin or whatever that firefox executable was named)
