2. Unzip the archive
-z means filter the archive through gzip
-x extract
-v verbose
-f file name
3. Put firefox in its own directory.
4. Make a backup of your profile direcory
If you use seamonkey or thunderbird there profile info will also be there.
4. Create a new profile so you don't corrupt your old profile.
This is my profile name firefox-9.0.1 and this is my profile directory /home/bob/.mozilla/firefox/firefox-9.0.1
5. Run firefox 9.0.1 from the directory I put it in.
/home/bob/firefox-9.0.1/firefox is my install directory
-no-remote allows to use firefox 9.0.1 and my old version of firefox
-P is the profile option
firefox-9.0.1 is the name of my profile
Don't do this like one of the links say to do.
That creates a profile called firefox-3.6 like you would expect but it puts profile in the firefox directory instead of creating its own separate directory. So in this case it would be in /home/bob/.mozilla/firefox/ instead of /home/bob/.mozilla/firefox/firefox-3.6 like you would expect.
