Hi
Download the file from the Firefox website.
It is
firefox-4.0rc1.tar.bz2
Unzip it (Right-click extract here).
This creates a folder named
firefox.
Look inside this folder for a
file named
firefox.
(This is the startup script).
Right-click the firefox (script) file and Open -> Run.
This will run your new firefox without disturbing the original one.
If you wish you can create an entry on your menu.
Like this:-
System > Preferences > Main Menu > Internet > New Item
Then in the 'Name' box type
Firefox-4
And in the 'command' box put the path to that firefox file (the startup script).
Something like this:-
/home/ron/Downloads/firefox/firefox
So you have two firefoxes available from the menu.
