Firefox 1.5

[Joao Paulo Pires]

After I check new version, should I uninstall older one?
What proper way to uninstall it?
TIA & WNY, Joao.

a more generalized solution: 

you probably have a "firefox" binary in /usr/bin (or possibly 
/usr/local/bin). rename that to something else, then put in a 
symbolic link from /usr/bin/firefox to the firefox 1.5 binary (which 
is likely found in /usr/lib/firefox-1.5, or /usr/local/lib/... ). 

the next time you upgrade, just update the symbolic link after you do 
the install. [if for some reason you end up having problems with the 
new install (e.g., find it buggy), just switch the symbolic link 
back.] 

that will make the change system-wide - for anything that invokes 
firefox with just the binary name or with the /usr/bin/ pathing.
