This is the first time I have used any Linux program and I just installed Kubuntu 5.1. It installed ok but I want to install firefox. I downloaded the linux version from firefox. I can't figure out how to install it. I got it to extract into a folder but I click on all the files in the folder but nothing will install. What am I doing wrong.

Re: installing firefox
Why don't you just use the package manager "Adept" to apt-get firefox... it automatically configures and installs it for you.

Re: installing firefox
That installs Fx 1.0.7, if you want the new version (1.5), you have to read the wiki guide.Originally posted by ben_elliott<br />

Re: installing firefox
Firefox 1.5 should install OK after unpacking the tarball and clicking on the firefox bin or shell script as long as you have the 386 architecture. If you are running the 64 bit version of Kubuntu you are in a whole new different ball game! Although it is possible.Comment

Re: installing firefox
I realize this a FF topic; however, do you guys think the updated konqurer is now a viable web browser alternative?
* ie, the adblock feature imported Filter.G right in and works great.
* If I can figure out how to get tabs working like the ff extension tabbrowser, I might switch for a while.
I noticed also that konqurer is much, much faster than FF 1.0.7, though I have not yet tested ff 1.5.
