Firefox on my Ubuntu installation requires me to update the Flash plugin and following the link, I get to the page which ask me to download the latest Firefox package.
I download the tar.gz and unzip it. It is the new version, but it is in an independent folder and if I want to use it, I need to open the folder and click on the Firefox executable.
How can I replace the old version of Firefox on my Ubuntu installation with the newly-downloaded?
I checked the old version:
nanger@mypad:/usr/lib/firefox$ which firefox
/usr/bin/firefox
nanger@mypad:/usr/bin$ whereis firefox
firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /etc/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/bin/X11/firefox /usr/share/man/man1/firefox.1.gz
I'm not very familiar with the linux system. But what is /usr/bin/firefox? Is it a symbolic link which link to the Firefox executable in /usr/lib/firefox? How can I replace it with the new version?
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox
