I used the installer and installed into /usr/local then modified the
shell script "mozilla" in /usr/bin to point to the new directorys and
all is well, bit of a kludge but works fine until an rpm is about.
Attached is a copy of /usr/bin/mozilla shell script.

Why not just use the graphical installer at:

Uhh, because there is a good reason rpm and dpkg are around?
I have temporarily used the installer to install to my home directory.
Man it's a pain in the arse. It doesn't appear in prefered apps. So
things don't open it. So I put it in as a custom and now you can't open
more then one instance without the daft profile dialog.
Me wants RPM.
