If you tried to install it by overwriting the system Firefox with some tarball, then of course this will break the next time Fedora's Firefox is upgraded. Don't do that. Properly-packaged Firefox 3.6 RPMs can be found in Remi Collet's repository.

Will suggest to remove the one that is installed and download the one provided by Fedora using YUM. All you need to do is at CLI is query the RPM DB for the installed firefox by 'rpm -q firefox', once listed remove the same firefox using 'rpm -e firefox' and install the new one as 'yum install firefox'. -- Saurabh Sharma Linux user number: 490644 http://sawrub-blog.blogspot.com/ Open your doors...It's time to look beyond Windows -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I was formerly running 3.6.? (whichever was current). Isn't it amazing that everybody doesn't have the same problem? 3.5.8 is the latest Firefox version is the F12 repository. If you want 3.6, which is not customized to F12, you'll have to download it from Mozilla.com and install. Someone suggest using the Rawhide repository which contains 3.6. Don't!!! I did that a few Fedora versions ago, and yum installed dependencies that were incompatible with my current version. Ended up having to completely reinstall. I suggest that if you want 3.6, after downloading the rpm from Mozilla, that you install it using 'yum localinstall pathtorpm' WITHOUT the -y (yes) option to see what any dependencies, if any, yum pulls. That way you can safely decide whether to install 3.6.

Anyway Uncompress the bz2'd tar archive in your /home folder, cd to the firefox folder, and mostly likely as root, run the updater executable. That should install everything and overwrite your existing Firefox install, but shouldn't affect your bookmarks or configs.
