Installing ff4 on fedora

I didn't think i was a linux dummy but maybe i am.
Running f13.
downloaded the .tar.bz2 file but am lost for instructions on how to install for all users. instructions i found only let me install for the current user and that is not what i want.
surely there is a way to install so all users can use it.
how do i install for all users (ie not in my home folder)?

1. Disable SELINUX
In Fedora , edit /etc/selinux/config and change the SELINUX line to SELINUX=disabled:
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
# targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
# strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
2. reboot the machine

  • I downloaded ff4 in Fedora 13, now how do i install it?

    The downloading of FF4 in Fedora 13 has gone and made a 45 item folder called Fire Fox in my home directory. Now what do i do with it.
    If nothing can be done with it i'm more than happy with the Firefox 3.something i'm working with right now. If there was an Install file in that 45 item Fire Fox folder i'd probably click on it before asking for help. Please take your sweet time, i'm more than willing to be patient.
    Maybe i did some mistake with the downloading. If you say so i'll be glad to try it again.

    Again, details help.
    What did you download... what was the filename?
    Did it go through an install process?
    Do you have a link to the site from which you downloaded?

  • My add-ons act like they're installed, but don't show up. This didn't happen until after I installed FF4, had lots of trouble with it, and had to go back to FF3.5.5. Suddenly my add-ons don't work. How can I fix this?

    I installed FF4 on both my laptop and PC, but I kept getting kicked offline, especially from Facebook. I then uninstalled FF4 and went back to FF3.5.5 (on the PC) and FF 3.6 on the laptop. This solved my connectivity issues, but add-ons are now acting up. No add-ons at all show up on the PC, and only Personas show on the laptop. When I try to install Forecast Fox and Colorful Tabs, I get the "install now" message and the message to restart FF, which I do. When it repaints, the add-ons are just not there. I expect it's something I'm doing wrong, but I don't know what it is. Java is updated. Any pointers? TIA!

    You're welcome

  • I installed FF4 on Mac OS 10.4.11. Says it cannot operate with my system. Old FF gone. New FF won't work. HOW DO I RECOVER?

    You can re-download the previous version of Firefox from http://www.firefox.com/all-older.html

  • Installed FF4.0, now Roboform only shows 1 identity. Why? How do I fix?

    Installed FF4.0, now my Roboform will only show 1 identity. It will let me switch between them, but only 1 can be on the toolbar at a time

    I'm relieved to know that I am not the only one who has experienced this problem. But why is Mozilla/Firefox developers or troubleshooters not posting any comments on this like perhaps . . . "We are aware of this problem and are working on a fix."
    I have not received any communication from them on this forum or on twitter or anywhere else. Anyway I really love FF4.0 and really would like to use both programs together, As it is I have had to go back to 3.6.16 in order to use Incredimail. Firefox/Mozilla, please respond in some form to this request.

  • All navigational subheadings near top of screen in previous version of ff disappeared when installed ff4. they included Wikipidia, news(with sub-options LA times, NY times,BBC etc), YouTube, mail & others. how do i recover previous version?

    You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
    (1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
    (2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
    (3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
    (4) Add some SARE rules:
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
    70sareadult.cf
    70saregenlsubj0.cf
    70sareheader0.cf
    70sarehtml0.cf
    70sareobfu0.cf
    70sareoem.cf
    70sarespoof.cf
    70sarestocks.cf
    70sareunsub.cf
    72sare_redirectpost
    Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
    backhair.cf
    bogus-virus-warnings.cf
    chickenpox.cf
    weeds.cf
    Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
    Then stop and restart mail services.
    There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

  • I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome.

    I removed chrome 10 and newly installed FF4 final, and I can't read PDF files within the browser. There was no problem in Chrome. I can't even see the acrobat reader plugin in the plugins page. Acrobat 10 is already installed in my PC. Every time I try to read a PDF file on the web, FF tries to download it instead.

    As recommended above by Bernd Alheit, I posted this on the Adobe Reader forum. There, I received the advice to repair the installation under the help menu, which I did and it fixed the problem.
    Similar to your solution but found it's a fix found under "HELP" menu and not Add/Remove.
    Thank you.

  • Just installed FF4. No menu button, no app tab, no bookmark button. How do I get these to display?

    I just downloaded and installed FF4. Why are the features highlighted in "Getting started with Firefox" such as the menu button, the app tab and the bookmark button not being displayed?

    # By default the Firefox button is hidden in XP. To get it, right click a toolbar and uncheck "Menubar"
    # To make a tab an app tab right click a tab and select "Pin as app tab".
    # To have the Bookmarks button display, right click a toolbar, and select Customize... In the dialog box that appears, drag the Bookmarks button to a toolbar.
    Check out the Screenshots below for reference.

  • Do I need to uninstall FF3 b4 installing FF4?

    I would simply like to know if I should uninstall FF3 before installing FF4?

    You can uninstall Firefox 3 before if you want, but it is not required, you can simply install Firefox over your current version.
    I prefer uninstalling the old version and making sure all the Firefox files and folder have been removed from the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory installation directory]. If you do this, when uninstalling Firefox make sure you do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data", if you select that option it will delete all of your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.

  • My trackball won't work in in the the down scrolling mode in the scrolling side bar since I installed FF4

    When you open a bookmark it usually has scroll bar on the right side of the window. My Logitech trackball which I have used forever on all USB computers plug and play. It will scroll up sometimes but not down. It clicks on stuff fine. This has been since I installed FF4. I would go back to an earlier version but it wont let me

    I contacted apple support, and they had me back up my iTunes library onto a disc, then uninstall iTunes, re-install iTunes again and then update my quicktime. Although it was a bit time consuming... it worked! Yippee!!!

  • Can´t install FF4 beta, it says I don´t have enough priviledges alltough I´m the only user

    running Windows7 any time I want to install FF4 beta right at the beginning a window opens up saying that I don't have enough privileges, and should choose a different user like admin, but even as "admin" the installation breaks up without further notice. I´m trying to install beta 8, but it happened with previous versions as well. By the way, I´m the only user and admin the same time.

    Does it work if you right-click the Firefox installer and choose "Run as Administrator" ?

  • Installing oracle10g on Fedora fails

    Hi,
    I gave up trying to install oracle9i on Fedora. But when I
    tried to install 10g on fedora today, I ran into the same
    kind of errors as with 9i.
    I have read puschitz and oracle-base as well as other docs
    and I also pass the pre-requisites test of the OUI
    I am now confused as to why everytime I get to the linking
    stage, the following do not link:
    ins_precomp, ins_sql, ins_ldap, ins_rdbms, ins_nau, ETC...
    (9i Note: The fixes in puschitz's page for ins_precomp and
    ins_sql do not work for me nor do the fixes for
    ins_oemagent and inv_ctx) and there is no mention
    anywhere on the web for other errors like ins_rdbms, ldap,
    nau, and more..
    What could be the problem? Can someone assist please?
    Thanks

    I've successfuly installed oracle10g on Fedora core1 but before that I update all packages mentioned in
    http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle10g.shtml to latest versions(using yup).
    Regards.
