How can I manually update Firefox?
[see http://wiki.mozilla.org/Software_Update:Manually_Installing_a_MAR_file]
- Download MAR file from
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/<ver>/update/
[each <ver> dir allows to update from PREVOIUS version to <ver>, use cumulative to fully update, or "complete" versions]
- Use the firefox updater (in FC5 it's in /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.4/updater ) in the directory you placed the MAR files (note: this is a "work directory", may leave files...) and run:
updater <MARfile> 0
