Hmmm. As with most of my third-party software, I just download it, compile it, and install it. Fortunately Firefox is already compiled and ready to go. I downloaded firefox-0.8-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz (since I don't like the fonts on the other version), uncompressed it, untarred it, put the appropriate entries on my menu, and I was good to go. I made the link from /usr/java/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so to the plugin directory under firefox (firefox/plugins) for java. I made the link for the flash plugin. I added the gxine plugin. Everything is fine and working. It's my default browser. I use Evolution for my mail client, and one of these days I'll do the hack to Firefox that allows it to call external mail programs for the mailto: protocol. All in all, a pretty painless operation. /mde/ just my two cents . . . .
