Hello All, This is my first email to the group and by seeing the previous messages I will get the answer/s here. I m a new linux user and installed FC5 y'day.
It was having Firefox 1.5.0.1. I downloaded and extracted the tarball of latest version of firefox which is 1.5.0.4.
When I tried to open the executable 'firefox' file.. it opened the new firefox window but of the older version only. So I removed all the folders named Firefox having older version.
Then put the latest version Firefox's executable in /usr/bin directory. The tried giving 'firefox' command in console.. it gives me error.. "Cannot find mozilla runtime directory. Exiting." when i try to execute the firefox executable from extracted tarball itself by giving command "./firefox".... it gives me error "./firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"!
Can I get help regarding this issue.. How can I start latest version of firefox?
........ AND hi Dinesh! Vivek here! I seen ur replies. Nice to c u in this group!

Umm...you should've uninstalled the RPM like this:
rpm -e firefox
Then put the latest version Firefox's executable in /usr/bin directory. The tried giving 'firefox' command in console.. it gives me error.. "Cannot find mozilla runtime directory.

My recommendation would be reinstall the RPM and let firefox automatically update itself. You dont need to worry about anything. It downloads the updates in the background. Once they are ready, it simply install the updated version!
