I ended up downloading the latest firefox28 from the firefox site extracted the .tar and copied it into /opt/firefox Then I created a menu entry in Gnome and pointed it to /opt/firefox/firefox.sh firefox loads up with old bookmarks through the menu although: why when I do a 'locate firefox' in terminal many entries show up? A few more than listed below but this is the just of it. /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/libs/img/firefox-3.5.png /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/firefox-homepage /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-branding.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-branding.md5sums /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-gnome-support.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-gnome-support.md5sums /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-locale-en.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-locale-en.md5sums /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-locale-en.preinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.conffiles /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.list /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.md5sums /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.postinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.postrm /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.preinst /var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.prerm There are even entries shown under /usr/lib and /usr/bin which I did not include here. When I 'cd' into the /var/lib/dpkg/info and perform an 'ls -lah' no entries for firefox show up that way. Also alt+F2 no longer allows me to open firefox: Error stating file '/home/paul/firefox': No such file or directory How can I get alt+F2 to open firefox or make it system wide? I did run 'rm -r firefox' in /usr/bin after removing the old version of firefox20 via synaptic Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
