Does anybody know how to install an update to FF on a YDL 5? Just solved the yum problem with repositories (lynx installed instead of untar;), but Firefox is not listed in Software Updater and the new installer (or anything, that is d/loaded automatically from FF update page) does not work via click / doubleclick / extract into etc directory & link / any other way I can misuse or mutilate it. The versions mentioned here are for PS, while my machine is a 400MHz stationary G4.
Thx in advance, this is the last (I hope) problem that prevents me from starting daily and glorious YDL usage

2. I got this to build by forcing uname -m to ppc instead of ppc64 by using the setarch command for the build instructions. (Yes - it's the old 64bit vs. 32bit song and dance)

Once again:

Also - I put the firefox folder in /usr/local, then created a symbolic link to /usr/local/firefox/firefox in /usr/local/bin, and that does work very well - thanks, Noons.
