Manually Update Firefox of rhel6.1 to the latest version.

Due to ease of work, I changed it a while agoRedhat Enterprise 6.1, found that the built-in firefox version is 3.6 (the latest version was firefox6.0 at that time), due to the low version, I used to be not supported by a number of plug-ins, and cannot be synchronized, update it decisively.

 

1. Go to the Firefox official website to download the latest firefox6.0 and decompress it.

2. delete all the junk files left by the old version.

(1 ). run the command whereis Firefox on the terminal to get the path of the three files. The first two are/usr/bin/Firefox,/usr/lib/Firefox, and the third name is forgotten, delete all three files.

(2). Delete the old Firefox main folder, path is/usr/lib/firefox-3.6. The 64-bit system path is/usr/lib64/firefox-3.6.

3. Create a directory and run the command mkdir/usr/lib/firefox6.0. Similarly, if it is a 64-bit system, run mkdir/usr/lib64/firefox6.0.

4. cut all the downloaded content in Firefox 6.0 to the/usr/lib/firefox6.0 folder.

5. Run touch/usr/bin/Firefox to create a new Firefox file and write the following content to the file:

#! /Bin/bash
/Usr/lib/firefox6.0/Firefox

Save and add the execution permission chmod + x/usr/bin/Firefox. This step is mainly used to fix the built-in Firefox shortcut.

6. So far, Firefox has been updated!
