You have bigger problems than firefox if you can not use some of the basic commands such as rm. Why don't you start by telling everyone exactly how rm or rmdir is not working? Give the full command line with the error message that it reports. Also how did you install firefox the first time? If you installed it via rpm or yum you would not use rm to remove it. After getting the first problem sorted out then you can provide information on how you tried to upgrade firefox. Be sure to provide specific commands lines and versions so we have some idea of what may have happened and can suggest how to extricate yourself from your mess. -- Scot L.
