Hi - I updated firefox-3.0.5 from firefox-3.0.15on CentOS 4 this weekend and now I can't start it because it has the wrong version of NSS and I can't update NSS to the correct version.
Does anyone know where I can find the RPM for CentOS 4 version of firefox-3.0.5?
Or how I can tell yum to install version firefox-3.0.5 instead of firefox-3.0.15?
I literally a minute ago upgraded my firefox from 3.5.3 to 3.5.5. I *always* do it as follows: as root, cd to where it's installed (for me, /opt) rm firefox bunzip2 /whereIsavedit/firefox<release>.tar.bz2 tar -xvf /whereIsavedit/firefox<release>.tar mv firefox firefox-<release number> ln -s firefox-<release number> firefox
Then I have my link in /usr/bin/firefox pointing to, in my case, /opt/firefox/firefox.
Back out? No problem, reset the symbolic link.
In your case, first, was it installed via rpm? If so, rpm -e; in my case, rm -r the directory it was installed in, then go to the mozilla site and d/l the version you want, then follow my procedure, above.
If you insist on installing it via yum, or rpm, you can tell it a release number - check the man page on those.
