Install Firefox 6 on Fedora 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 11 - Comment Page: 2
Mozilla Firefox 6 is released and this is guide, howto install Firefox 6 on Fedora 15, Fedora 14, Fedora 13, Fedora 12 and Fedora 11 using YUM. This is not big deal for Fedora 15 users, because Firefox 6 found on update repos, but this is good for older Fedora users.

Yeah! Thanks guy! It’s super!
A Big Thanks. I’m using Fedora 14 and installed Firefox 14. I did try several instruction before I found this page and this really works! I shall put a link to my own pages.
Many thanks to your excellent update to firefox 10 at fedora 13. But you wrote at April 10th, 2012, if I understood it right, that it is possible to install original tarball. I downloaded firefox 15 as tarball into my user-directory as recommended at:
http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux
But if I do so and I try to start at my user-folder I get this error:
[[email protected] ~]$ ~/firefox/firefox
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /home/andreas/firefox/libxpcom.so:
libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn’t load XPCOM.
It seems, that parallel installation of root-firefox-10 and user-firefox-15 is not possible. Or is there any solution together with most actual xulrunner15 (for firefox-15).
problem seems to be, that the wrong library is taken by user-firefox-15 (perhaps library of parallel installed root-firefox-10?)
Thank you so much. I have no intentions of moving off FC13 and this helped tremendously.
Thank you thank you.
Thank you, This worked well for me.
Thank you.
I have Fedora 12; Firefox 5 ! I am little new to linux
1. How can I directly uninstall Firefox5, & install latest firefox in Fedora 12 ?
2. I tried to update, found following errors
