There are a firfox next firefox directory script file is called. To start Firefox, as long as we execute firefox script on the line.
./firefox/firefox
If these binary files are saved in your home directory, then you can only run the manual installation of Firefox, so that other users can run, we move to Firefox binaries under / opt / directory.
sudo mv firefox / / opt
and then create a soft link, we called this Firefox firefox-new, to distinguish the system comes with firefox.
sudo ln -s / opt / firefox / firefox / usr / bin / firefox-new
next time, we can enter firefox-new command in a terminal to start firefox. If you do not want Firefox to display information in the terminal, you can also press ALT + F2 key, then enter the command firefox-new start firefox.
new new-Firefox
That's IT!
