Thanks, it worked.

Just one more thing? Is there a way to make a firefox executable, so it could be run as 'firefox' from dmenu? Or is this stupid?

Well there surely is a way. I just don't know it as I usually prefer kupfer (gnome-do lightweight alternative) to dmenu. You can open it from dmenu with x-www-browser ATM.
For adding items to dmenu check this http://crunchbanglinux.org/wiki/howto/h … s_to_dmenu

Extract firefox package into your preferred directory. For example I choose /opt/
Then open terminal and run

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser x-www-browser /opt/firefox/firefox 100

Just to check if it was successful run

sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser

Thanks, it worked.

2. Ass this to your .bashrc: export PATH="$HOME/firefox:$PATH"

Freudian typo?

Hmm i dont know how my link got messed up like that, but thanks for pointing that out.

Now IceTurtle can go L*onel R*tch*e itself.

Allow me to quote Awebb here:

if anything as crucial as a browser needs to be packaged to land in /opt, it's a shitty browser.

If you want firefox simply install iceweasel, the differences between the two are the removal of the firefox branding in iceweasel and some minor under the hood tweaks.
If your worried about missing your favrioute addons then most of them work in iceweasel, the ones i use such as noscript, ghostery, firebug, adblock the video downloader, all work in iceweasel and firefox

You got me. As to FF vs IW I have had a few problematic addons a while back with iceweasel v. 4-6 so I just gave up and went with FF. It may have been resolved but frankly I don't care to try it anymore.

You don't have to extract FF in into /opt - you can choose other directory even in your home folder. I am just used to it...

And BTW the link you posted is broken - here it is once more: http://crunchbanglinux.org/forums/topic … hy-in-opt/

And that's it.

PS: In case you extract it somewhere else alter that command accordingly.

There's no /usr/bin/firefox now, it doesn't work when I just copy the supplied binary there. How should I proceed?

PS. I know iceweasel is rebranded FF, I just prefer the latter.
