Solved: Updating Firefox?
I know this is noobish, but I don't know how to update firefox on FC4.

I unpack 1.5 (well I don't know where I should unpack it to), and don't know where to put all of the binaries and such so that I can use 1.5 instead of 1.0.7.

Google "Firefox 1.5 FC 4 RPM" you'll find some third party RPM's that you can install.

Download the RPM of choice, open a terminal window, CD to the directory containing the newly downloaded rpm, and as root, issue: "rpm -Uvh rpmname" where rpmname is the RPM you just downloaded.
