Operating Systems Linux Debian error running firefox.desktop file Post 302342697 by JonesD1 on Monday 10th of August 2009 12:31:51 PM

ln -s was done, thank you

and I can run the firefox from any directory via a terminal. This is not an issue.

The issue is to be able to activate firefox with the firefox.terminal file being showed in my original post.

My main object is to learn and understand, so I will much appreciate an answer to my 2 questions in my original post.

Thank you for the answer so far.

Also - I hope I am in the correct sub-forum (which I am not sure I am)
