How do I install firefox on my Asus EeePC having downloaded and decompressed it?

My notebook came with firefox installed on the Xandros operating system, but I have been prompted to download the latest version. I have done so and now need to load into the system. I have no instructions for that I realize I need to get the command console up but what do I type into this? The Xandros system has an add new software button but only for the existing linux - it does not recognise ither versions

How old is that EeePC?
If that is one of the original versions, from 2007 - 2009, the Xandros operating system doesn't support anything newer than Firefox 2.0 !
I have a EeePC 900, and in 2009 I installed EasyPeasy OS [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EasyPeasy] so that I could run Firefox 3.6. Unfortunately, EasyPeasy was discontinued in 2012 altogether, but work on it had quit in like 2010 when Ubuntu started adding files needed for Netbooks like the EeePC.
Overall, ASUS used a weird OS to begin with on the first EeePC 700 model - Xandros, which was already a couple of years behind the Linux-curve as far as security updates and file version levels. And then ASUS didn't provide funding to the team that created Xandros to make it more up-to-date.
Then there is the issue of Microsoft seeing the Netbook market slip thru their fingers, and MS putting pressure on ASUS to use a "Lite" version of WinXP, which did become an option after the 900 versions. But that's another story ...
Bottom line is that you need a different, newer Operating System for that device to be able to use a newer version of Firefox. Best thing to do is to head over to the Ubuntu support fora and ask about an appropriate Linux distro for your EeePC.

I don't use my EeePC for the purpose I originally got it for ''(the company I worked in for 2008 went bust in 2010 - I was an outside service rep and did on-site job reporting with the EeePC which fit in my toolbag)'', and I never updated it beyond EasyPeasy and Firefox 3.6. I use it now on my local network in my home and don't go on the internet with it. Basically a terminal on the network for viewing and editing locally saved files when I am watching TV, during commercials.

How do I start Firefox 4 from KMenu when I downloaded and installed Firefox4.0.tar.bz2 (only launches from terminal), and 'apt-get' installs Firefox 3.6.15 even though I tried to "--purge" it from Linux?

I downloaded and installed Firefox 4 RC using tar.bz2 so that I could still use Firefox 3.6.15 as per normal, having to start Firefox 4 using the terminal which worked great (except for many videos on different websites). When Firefox 4 was released, I suppose I was in a hurry to get it to work normal from my menu, but it kept saying that 3.6.15 was the latest version (I'll be quite embarrassed if it wasn't available for Linux users - I do love Firefox!). I did something silly, like purge Firefox from my operating system (Kubuntu 10.10) and when I reinstalled it was still 3.6.15 (it wasn't really downloading, but unpacking). Am I in too much of a hurry or is there a fix-it? I can use Firefox 4, but only through the terminal and I suspect it is slower than it should be. I would like only one version now.

First, that cannot be an iBook G4 as that machine cannot run Snow Leopard let alone Mountain Lion. To run Snow Leopard it has to be an Intel processor, not a G4. What does it show as the Model Identifier in About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Model Identifier?
Second, if you have erased the hard drive there should not be remnants of any prior content. Even though Disk Warrior is saying nothing is wrong with the hard drive, it sounds as though there are problems. You may want to consider simply replacing the hard drive so there are no questions about faults. A good source is OWC, http://www.macsales.com where they also have on-line videos showing how to do the replacement.
Third, you could also try again to restart using the Snow Leopard DVD/CD and use Disk Utility on that install disk to erase again, and do it a couple times, then try to install. If it continues to refuse, then it sounds as though there is a fault with the hard drive.

How do I install Firefox updates? I have 13.0 and cannot install updates.

How do I install updates? I have tried everything on your website, and nothing works. I have a Mac 10.7.5 and have NEVER been able to install updates. The bar just keeps moving when I tell it to update, but nothing ever happens. It will do this for hours, but never updates. Telephone help would be very helpful. I would appreciate being able to talk to someone who could walk me through this process. Now my bank account site has a message that tells me I need to update Firefox.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
*Firefox 25.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

My company blocks executables from running in the Temp folder. How can I install Firefox without it trying to run download.exe from a temp folder?

I found a workaround for the problem of not being able to run executables from the Temp folder.
I happened upon the Full Firefox installer download page. I downloaded the full installer and used WinRar to extract the downloaded file to a folder then I could run setup.exe and Firefox installed successfully.
Please publish the link to the full Firefox installer on the same page where the stub installer is published.
Thank you.

Hello,
Full installers can always be downloaded here:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
I am assuming you went to this page:
* https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
I notice the page has changed a little from the last time I saw it, but you can reach the first link I posted by clicking "Systems & Languages".

Installed Firefox 20 update, but won't run and keeps telling me have to restart computer, which I've done 5 times.

Downloaded and installed Firefox 20, but it won't start up. Window pops up saying "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous update of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" I have rebooted several times, to no avail.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

How do I install Firefox in English on a computer in Mexico?

''I have a Dell 2009 computer with 4 gigs of memory. I am running Windows 7 home ultimate. My home is in San Carlos Mexico. I had Firefox installed with the Windows 7 as my web browser. I uninstalled Windows 7 and went back to Windows XP service pack 3. After realizing my dumb error I had Windows 7 re-installed, but when I download Firefox it only installs in Spanish(which I don't speak). I have tried many times to reinstall it(I even have my IP address located in the United States via Hide-My-Ip aplication) but it still installs in Spanish.My question is: How can I install Firefox on my computer? Would a cd with Firefox on it work? Please advise as I really like Firefox much better than IE(which installed on my computer in English ok).Thank you for your prompt response. Charles Yoder

You can get the English version from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html

How do i install firefox 8.01 on eee pc.

how do i install firefox 8.01 on eee pc.

You can't with the default Xandros Linux Operating System that came with the EeePC, the GTK package is older than what Firefox 3+ versions require. <br />
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/ <br />
Linux
Software Requirements
Please note that Linux distributors may provide packages for your distribution which have different requirements.
* Firefox will not run at all without the following libraries or packages:
o GTK+ 2.10 or higher

o X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
o libstdc++ 4.3 or higher
I installed EasyPeasy in 2010, which is a netbook variant of Ubuntu, but that project hasn't been updated recently and I think the builders have lost the incentive to come out with a new version because the Ubuntu 11 versions have much better netbook support than back in 2009 and 2010.
I'm looking for a "lighter" version of Linux for my EeePC 900, like maybe Puppy Linux. I don't use my EeePC for anything except for "surfin" and Ubuntu installs too much superfluous crap for installing it in the 4GB SSD, and I can't figure out how to tie both the 4GB and 16GB SSD's together as one "drive" as it was with the Xandros operating system. The first Ubuntu program updates I got after installing Easy Peasy filled up the 4GB drive, and I am too much of a Linux noob to try a figure out how to fix the mistake I made when installing it to the smaller SSD. Firefox 3.6 works fine for me and that is good enough for now.

The easiest way to install Firefox to your Android phone is to download it directly to your phone. Go to [http://firefox.com/m/beta firefox.com/m/beta] in your phone's browser, press the download button, and then open the downloaded file to install it.
Or, if you have the Android SDK development tools installed on your PC and are comfortable using the command line, you can use the [http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html adb] command to install from your PC to your phone.

How do I install bootcamp so I half both my ssd and hdd?

How do I install bootcamp so I half both my ssd and hdd for windows and lion?

Sorry about that one. There are THREE not just two, about SSDs, and the iMac SSD + hdd one.... well that one was private (not sure why).
Most questions have been asked/answered, multiple more than once, times, and therefore: public bookmarks and search please. (some gets asked almost daily, a few multiple times in one DAY of all things).
I'd like to see pdf guide and error messages, faq and how to articles re-written, updated, and checked for errors.
www.apple.com/support/bootcamp is where I usually send people to seek out the pdf and do some readiing and backups. you will need backup no matter what.
Windows won't install iwth two drives/devices with GPT so you have to remove or reformat the data drive for now.
