If you download firefox as a tar and put it in /usr/local, you can then change the owner of that folder to something different from the user you normally use with firefox. So for example set up a user called firefox and then: chown -R firefox:users /usr/local/firefox This prevents firefox from updating itself when you are not logged in as firefox. You need to link the executable into /usr/local/bin ln -s /usr/local/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
