Firefox 3 Install?

I have been trying to install firefox 3 on backtrack 3 final i seen a package on Linux packages

http://www.linuxpackages.net/search_...fox+3&ver=12.1

installed with pkgtool but it was spannish it think so i downloaded from the mozilla website


Download your language preference from here

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

Make sure you get the linux version

extract it using

tar -jxvf firefox-3.0.tar.bz2

Then right clicked on the firefox icon on the desktop and chose configure firefox button

under aplication and command i put /root/firefox/firefox

It works but i think there is a proper way to do it like the package where it overwrote old version i think
if anyone can help?

But it is working at the moment

I would like to know how one would go about un-installing Firefox 2.0.14 prior to installing version 3 to keep things nice & tidy?

Acutally, I would like to know how to uninstall packages in Linux in general.

The clean way to install firefox is:

1. download the firefox package from here:
http://repository.slacky.eu/slackwar...0-i686-1sl.tgz

2. issue a "installpkg mozilla-firefox-en-us-3.0-i686-1sl.tgz"

^^thanks for that

I downloaded firefox 3.0 from hawaii67's post. After starting up Firefox 3 and accepting the EULA, you are presented with a screen that tells you that XSS ME and SQL Inject ME are not compatible with Firefox 3.0. So if either of those extensions are one's you need, then I would hold off on upgrading. From their website, they do say that they are working on updates for Firefox 3.0, so, hopefully, they will be out soon.

Thank you hawaii67 this is alot quicker and cleaner install.

Here is the updated package link for those who are looking to upgrade...

EDIT: change to 'http' (I'm n00b-penalized and can't post URLs) :)

Dled and installed skidmarq's listed url. Worked great, no problems. XSS ME and SQL Inject ME have been updated and work after the update.
Thank You hawaii67 & skidmarq for posting the package links.
