Official instructions on how to install Firefox, which is as easy as it gets but apparently still requires typing some long and incredibly stupid command in Linux. Why must you constanly lie?

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/releases/1.5.html#install

For Windows, Double click the Firefox Setup 1.5.exe installer to start the install.

For Linux, Extract the tarball in the directory where you want to install Firefox:

tar -xzvf firefox-1.5.tar.gz

We have been through this before:

http://howto.homelinux.net/swf/yum.html

The instructions on Mozilla site are for generic Linux (i.e. no distribution) Suse, RedHat and most others provide an easy interface for installing software. All I would have to do differently in this scenario is select Firefox and click install.

So as with every time you try to play this card I have to ask: Dont you get tired of being proven wrong?
