Full Discussion: error running firefox.desktop file
Operating Systems Linux Debian error running firefox.desktop file Post 302342672 by Leppie on Monday 10th of August 2009 11:42:24 AM

is this a personal or system wide installation?

if this is a system wide install, did you create a symlink to your firefox installation?
create one with the following command:
Code:
ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox

/opt/firefox/ is a default choice of directory to install firefox into for system wide installations, if you chose another directory amend that part accordingly.

if you did a personal install, the directory should be something like /home/userid/*/firefox/ which you need to include into the Exec= option.

hope this helps
