from Firefox 3.0 back to 2.0

I followed the directions for installing firefox 3 and it worked well.

Problem is that I like firefox 2.0 better!

How can I get back to 2.0 without a complete system restore?

Thanx,
Mike

 

I have updated the post with new instructions.

wget “http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-3.0.1&os=linux&lang=en-US”

i get an "unsupported scheme" error now with this.something else must have changed since it was updated.

 

You're right there was a mistake. Also for reverting back to FF2 you only need to enter the last two lines, you don't need to go through the whole process again.

 

BTW thanx for posting help for noob's like myself

 

tried reinstalling firefox 3 because I was curious to check something, and when I get to the following command:

sudo mv firefox /opt

I get a connection refused error, or I get a no such directory error. sometimes both, also I don't have to enter my password like I did before.

is there something inherently different about the command "sudo" that makes things different?

trying to learn linu here

The sudo error is a bug, can be ignored. The 'directory missing' error: mv means move, so when you move the directory it cannot be moved a second time since it's not in the first place anymore.

 

I still can't get it to work but NO WORRIES! I just extracted the bz2 file and overwrote the main firefox folder under /home/user and it worked great!

I love learning new $tuff, linux is kinda neat but a bit more difficult than brainless windows....

Thanx again, it is people like you who make the gadget community so much more lively and interesting for tweakers and fiddlers like me

EDIT: great, now I have to right click the desktop and choose "internet browser" to get firefox to open.

is there a way to get the desktop link to work?
