What's the right procedure to manually install Firefox 13 on top of F17?.
It's been so long that I had forgotten it's simple a tar file. Where do I unpack it?.
Apparently in F17 firefox is spread between /usr/bin/firefox and /usr/lib/firefox instead of on its own subdir like /opt/firefox FC

It depends on if you want it accessible to a single user or all users on a system.
When I want to have it available to everyone I unpack in a directory I make called /usr/local/firefox and adjust the PATH variable accordingly.

Thanks, that sounds good.
Can we expect to have RPMs for F17 available, eventually?

Maybe I am so stupid as to want to install it on Linux and include Linux screenshots instead of Windows ones for a news story I plan to write, today, not a week after the software has been released. That's why.
I appreciate your concern, though. ;-)

Perhaps if you go back in the thread you will see that I also said "Can we expect to have RPMs for F17 available, eventually?". My point was that if F17 will end its days with Firefox 12, then I'd install FF13 manually on top of it.
On the other hand if someone tells me "we expect to have it on the repos in 'x' days" then it might or might not make sense for me to way, depending on the number of days.

Firefox and Thunderbird are updated to the latest releases since FF4 / F15 everytime because upstream has a new versioning scheme

Just unpacked it to /opt/firefox and updated the .desktop launcher in /usr/share/applications Works like a charm. I don't know if it's the placebo effect but it feels faster, too.
Thanks for the tips to everyone.

Not really. I used to stick with F9 and F10 on this machine for about two years, long past their expiry date, so to speak...
I only got back up to date with F16 and F17, and then I never paid much close attention to Firefox updates, as I primarily used SeaMonkey.

the packages are not puplished, but better to mess with software making the idea of a package-managment absurd (yes, all 3 are working for me on F16) - no reason to wait a week because these are usually also security-updates

Firefox now installs in a default directory that the install script chooses for you. alternatively, you can specify a different directory when running the script; it will prompt you. The install dir fully contains firefox - it is essentially sandboxed in that directory, except for the home .mozilla directory. I've never had any trouble installing this way, and on Gentoo that's a savings of a few hours compile time. :)

Bodhi is what you want to look at. That will tell you about the packages status in the repo.

Looks like they are both in stable now.
