What you wrote used to work on Mandrake 10.1 official. I would extract tar.gz, double click on firefox-installer and Firefox would install itself. Now that I installed Mandriva 2005 LE 10.2 nothing seems to work. I download Firefox 1.0.4 extract the tar.gz file and then double click on firefox-installer. Nothing happens. I can't install Firefox 1.0.4  and the default Firefox 1.0.2 has security holes. 

 

Where is the problem?

 

Berkowitz, have you tried running the command in a terminal window. I know that when i first installed Firefox I had to install a library before the install script wold work (I was missing something like libstdc, of the top of my head that is). If you run the firefox-installer from the terminal you will probably get some sort of error message that will give a clue to any probs. Have a try and see how you get on. (p.s. the library I was missing can be found on the installation disks!)
