Also placing it into /opt/ will work too ;)

I don't remember how we installed mine.. Did we do all that, or something different?

That sounds very complicated so If i ever get ubuntu i hopefully wont have to uninstall firefox!! Then I would just die of the steps. That sounds very very complicated and I don't think I could follow all that.

[FirefoxWiz]

Aww, it's not that hard. Expcecially when you have a tech living in the next room.

[PoisonDart]

hah I have the tech living down the road does that count?

[FirefoxWiz]

Reckon it does. He's just a telephone call away. Or, if you had a walkie talkie, even closer.

[PoisonDart]

Yep but walkie talkie telephone wouldnt be any closer then i'd be closer from my nose to my face.

Walking or riding a bike to him might be easier though..
