Which command must I use for firefox?
Greetings Bert.
I am referencing the use of a commandline call to firefox.
If you have used yum then something may have gone wrong with the install
of firefox, however, if you have simply downloaded the most current
firefox version, then a call to "firefox" from any shell, within a
gui-enabled install of SL-Linux should cause it to start up, and
messages that you usually don't see will be posted to standard output
within that running shell.
There were some yum removal and installation commands presented earlier
this afternoon, however, your issue seemed to be stemming from not being
able to call firefox up, from a known install.
However, I just tried this on my fedora system and it just runs firefox
and returns to a prompt without holding the shell session. (i.e. firefox
is run in the background)
But this should tell you if you are able to run firefox or if it is even
installed.
You could also run "locate firefox" or 'which firefox' to locate it. It
should be in /usr/bin/firefox.
I haven't seen any new posts, so hopefully you have resolved this issue.
