Firefox-1.5.0.3.tar.gz is the filename

Tsk tsk… Geeks..Such an unfriendly term
Anyways, what kind of firefox install do you have? Look at the extension of the file you download. Is it .rpm? Or .tar.gz? Or something else. Paste the full filename here and I will try and give you detailed install instructions.
No worries,
just extract the firerfox tar.gz using
tar -zxvf firefox-5.0.3.tar.gz
cd firefox-5.0.3
./configure(if available)
and/or
make install
then
on command line you can write firefox it shoudl open up with new browser.
