Firefox install Help

[kbhat]

I have Kubuntu on my second HDD. Can someone please help me install firefox? I did this: tar -xzvf firefox-1.5.tar.gz and this has created a Firefox directory. But, when I click on any file, nothing happens? Which one of the extracted file is the 'executable' (to use a Windows term)? Appreciate your help

Unfortunately, that won't work for 1.5 yet. 1.5 will be in the Dapper repositories, but 1.0.7 is Breezy right now.

FYI:

For some reason, the mozilla.com build of Firefox is significantly faster than the default Ubuntu one.

Since Ubuntu & Kubuntu share repositories it would seem to me that you will end up with a faster firefox.
