Still having problem with Firefox 2.0?

Create a folder call download.

Download it here http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

Where you download it to, just cd to that directory just like in windows. You use ls instead of dir for Linux

When your in the directory just do tar -xvf firefox[press tab to finish the file name]

the tab feature is useful for long file name so you don't make any typo.

It should extract a folder call firefox in the directory where you download it to, just cd to firefox directory and type firefox &

Installing flash player 9 to Firefox.

Go here and download "Installer for Linux (GZ, 2.48 MB)"
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html

Remember it's a tar file so you do the same thing to extract it, and when your done just copy the file libflashplayer.so to the firefox/plugins directory

Then go here http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to check your latest flash version. That's it, getting Firefox and flash is that easy on Linux. Every distro does it differently with their package manager but there's many ways.
