[NTLUG:Discuss] Firefox 1.5 installation question

[Charles Cashion]

I am running a Fedora Core 4 on a GQ3111 desktop.
It uses an AMD processor. I downloaded Firefox 1.5
and accepted the offer to allow it to install
itself. The file that I downloaded was
something-dot-tar-dot-gz. Past experience with tar
files has demonstrated that they will (re)generate
what ever directory structure that they target. So
I felt pretty safe allowing the donwload to unpack
itself.

Surprise!!!

It ended up in /tmp/firefox/firefox.

So my question to all the other FF1.5 users in NT
is: "where does  YOUR  FF1.5 reside?"

I posted (ALMOST) this same question to n.m.firefox
yesterday, but left out the bit about tar files.
And the consequence is that I did not get a straight
answer.

Tnx,
Charles
