What do i do with the firefox -6.0.tar.bz2 in order to install it on fedora 15 (over the existing firefox, in other words: update firefox using this tar file)?

Actually, I was trying to Import the browser settings (history) from Fedora 14 to Fedora 15. In the meantime firefox - between restarts - says a new version is available. That's why I'm trying to install it. YUM UPDATE says there is nothing to do however.
What should I do? Mu current version id 5.

Hi Thomas!
You probably have your browser set to "Open "safe" files after downloading".
That is why the download was opened, and both icons appeared.
Actually not a safe setting.
The "icon that looks to have a picture of a hard drive on it" is what you downloaded, and was opened to reveal the "a rectagular icon with FIREFOX on it". Which contains the actual FireFox application.
The "icon that looks to have a picture of a hard drive on it" can be put in the Trash, or you can keep it for future use.
Double click on the "rectagular icon with FIREFOX on it".
From the window that opens, drag the Firefox icon into the Applications folder.
Restart and the "rectagular icon with FIREFOX on it" be be in gone as well.
Don't forget to Repair Permissions!
Good Luck!

  • What can be done with the fingerprint reader?

    I am trying to figure out simply what I can do with the fingerprint reader on the T400. I understand how to use it to log into the computer. My main question is whether or not I can use the fingerprint reader in the following contexts, and if so how.
    1a) To  log into internet password protected websites. When I use IE, the password manager pops up and prompts me to save a password. If I save it, I can return to that website and it automatically will enter the login information and password for me. I want to know whether you can have password manager (or another program) prompt the user for the fingerprint and then submit the login information. That way the information is protected each time I log in, but I do not need to enter log in information each time, only a fingerprint. 
    1b) If this is possible in IE8, I would like to know if it is possible in Firefox 3, in which password manager does not pop up.
    2) Can it be used to log into MS Outlook.
    3) Can it be used to lock documents in MS Word.
    I much appreciate any information letting me know if these can be done, and if so, how to do them. Thank you very much for your help!

    After playing with it for a while I figured out at least questions 1a) and 1b). For anyone else who has the same questions:
    1a) Have your browser save the password using Lenovo's Password Manager. Then open password manager and open that item.  Click the advanced tab and change the security level to custom. Click "Customize Security Policy" and select "Protect with a Fingerprint."
    1b) Lenovo has a patch to synch Password Manager with firefox 3. It can be found here and is much easier than the manual fixes found on this forum.
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70132
    I am still looking for help with 3) and 4), particurally 3). Please let me know if you have any ideas. Thank you very much!!

  • I downloaded 4.0 RC what should I do with the Beta? Del?

    I downloaded 4.0 RC what should I do with the 4.0 Beta? remove? help?

    If you downloaded and ran the installer, you will probably have beta 12 and RC1 installed, you do not need both and can uninstall beta 12. Just make sure you do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data" is you uninstall beta 12, that option will delete all of your Firefox user data such as bookmarks and passwords.

  • Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

    Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

    from : OS X Beta Seed Program FAQ
    How do I get a shipping version of OS X back on my Mac?
    To get a shipping release of OS X on your Mac, you can simply install the final version of the software you are testing when it appears in Software Update.
    How do I leave the OS X Beta Seed Program?
    To leave the program, visit the Leave Program page and follow the instructions to remove your Apple ID and your computers from the OS X Beta Seed Program. This will stop pre-release updates from appearing in the Mac App Store on your computers.
    You only need to do more than you already have, if you'd rather not see future pre-release updates.

    You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
    and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

  • IMac Seagate HD replacement - What do Apple do with the old hard drives?

    Hi
    A relative has a 2009 iMac and his 1TB Seagate hard drive is covered by the replacement programme.  He is concerned what Apple will do with the hard drive when it is returned to them as he does not want any to access his personal items (like docs, photos and emails etc).
    He is currently using ML and has everything backed up to an external hd.
    He plans to reload Snow Leopard which originally came with his iMac.  Using the SL disc, it will give him the option before installing - in Disk Utility to wipe the HD (Gutmann Theory) x 35 times so a very secure wipe.  Is this over the top as going to take days to do this to a 1TB drive.  Are there any better ways to do this. 
    We have an Apple store and Apple Premiem Reseller and Support Centre, but the reseller has a faster turnaround for repair.  Does anyone know what Apple do with faulty hard drives other than bin them?
    Thanks in advance.

    Gutmann algorithm 35-pass secure erase is not available as an option from the GUI, but is still available from command line aka Terminal.
    diskutil secureErase
    Usage:  diskutil secureErase [freespace] level MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode
    Securely erases either a whole disk or a volume's freespace.
    Level should be one of the following:
            0 - Single-pass zeros.
            1 - Single-pass random numbers.
            2 - US DoD 7-pass secure erase.
            3 - Gutmann algorithm 35-pass secure erase.
            4 - US DoE 3-pass secure erase.
    Ownership of the affected disk is required.
    Note: Level 2, 3, or 4 secure erases can take an extremely long time.

  • What hardware is compatible with the MAC OS

    Other than the MAC hardware available from Apple, what hardware is compatible with the Mac OS? Is there any AMD compatible hardware or other Intel 64 bit hardware that is compatible with the OS?

    With the camera connection kit you're able to plug in regular SD cards with one adapter, while the second adapter does include a USB port to plug your camera in. I just remember reading that "most cameras" are compatible.

  • What printers are compatible with the airport extreme?

    What printers are compatible with the airport extreme?

    Virtually any wireless printer will work just fine as well as a printer that connects using Ethernet. If you are looking at an All-in-One type of device....all functions like print, scan, copy, maintenance, etc will be supported.
    If you are looking at USB devices, Apple does not provide a list of compatible models, so It is difficult to say with certainly what will work and what will not. In general, most USB printers will work.
    But....very important....if you are looking at an All-in-One USB device, you need to keep in mind that only the print function will work when the device is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. Scan, copy, fax, maintenance, etc. will not be supported.
    Bottom line...if you are looking at an All-in-One device and you need all of the functions, you need to choose a device that connects using wireless only or Ethernet, not USB.

  • What cameras  are compatible with the camera connection kit

    what cameras are compatible with the camera connection kit and ipad2

    I also recently bought the camera kit and found that it worked fine as long as you don't format the SD card using PC. Once I re-formatted using my camera I could once again upload my photos. that was until I switched formats to Adobe RAW, it seemed unable to upload again. So I switched to S RAW and that worked fine. Sometimes my kit won't upload photos but I find that by just re-inserting the card it works fine.
    Haven't tried video yet, but I recently learned that the devices are quit sensitive to the "Format"(that needs to be FAT32, or exFAT- but in this instance it needs to be formatted by a Mac).
    Good luck
