I just download the .tar.gz file in the mozilla.com. And release the
package under my home dir, then add a "alias ..." statement in the
.bashrc. Now firefox can auto update to the last version.
Sometime i guess why linux distributions need to maintain a large
number applications like firefox,libreoffice,but not let users to
download the package from the corresponding net and install them.One
reason I think it makes sense is that the package may not has the
needed package format like .deb or .rpm, and there may be some
security and stability problem.
