Update / install newest version of firefox in Linux
Hi
Some of my plugins are not working with the older verison of firefox, so I tried to install firefox but it says that the newest firefox version is 3.5.0b4 while the newest is 3.5.5. I ma using fedora 11.
I downloaded the .rpm files from the internet
Then I issued these commands
Code:
# yum install system-bookmarks
# rpm -Uvh xulrunner-1.9.1.5-1.fc11.i586.rpm
# rpm -Uvh firefox-3.5.5-1.fc11.i586.rpm
But unfortunately this is not installing the latest firefox in my system, any advice of suggestion that I can follow to download the newest version.

Hello
I think the procedure which are following is wrong.
Instead you should do this, just update the firefox and it is done.
Code:
su
yum update firefox
And you will be ready with the latest version of firefox.

Hi
I have fedora 11 install and run firefox 3.5.5. And it work very smoothly. If the above is not working with you, can try this.
Code:
su -
yum remove firefox
yum install firefox
Just remove the firefox completely and then again install it as a fresh copy. If the above described update command is not working for you, then please check the repository of your operating system.
Hope this will solve your query. Any more problem please do post.
