<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>I ended up downloading the latest firefox28 from the firefox site extracted the .tar and copied it into /opt/firefox<br>
<br>
Then I created a menu entry in Gnome and pointed it to /opt/firefox/firefox.sh<br>
<br>
firefox loads up with old bookmarks through the menu although:<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
/usr/share/ubuntu-docs/libs/img/firefox-3.5.png<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/firefox-homepage<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-branding.list<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-branding.md5sums<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-gnome-support.list<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-gnome-support.md5sums<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-locale-en.list<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-locale-en.md5sums<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox-locale-en.preinst<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.conffiles<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.list<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.md5sums<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.postinst<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.postrm<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.preinst<br>
/var/lib/dpkg/info/firefox.prerm<br>
<br>
There are even entries shown under /usr/lib and /usr/bin which I did not include here.<br><br>When I 'cd' into the /var/lib/dpkg/info and perform an 'ls -lah' no entries for firefox show up that way.<br>
<br>
Also alt+F2 no longer allows me to open firefox: Error stating file '/home/paul/firefox': No such file or directory<br>
<br>
How can I get alt+F2 to open firefox or make it system wide?<br>
<br>
I did run 'rm -r firefox' in /usr/bin after removing the old version of firefox20 via synaptic<br><br>Thanks<br> </div></body>
