Mv: Cannot Stay 'firefox': No Such File Or Directory ???

Hi all ,
i tried to update firefox 24 to firefox 35. Found a tutorial how to install it and did
#chown -R root:root /tmp/firefox && mv /tmp/firefox /opt/firefox-latest
#ln -s /opt/firefox-latest/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox-latest
and now run it with firefox-latest.
I had actually the both versions of firefox and with pkgtool tried to remove firefox 35 but it cant, so i uninstalled firefox 24. Now i have troubles with flashplayer. how can remove firefox 35 ?

When i doble click on some html file it gives me that error

KDEInit could not launch '/usr/lib64/firefox-24.2.0/firefox.

I can open it with right click and use "open with" option, but than i have 4 positions of firefox in context menu. How can solve this ? I currently use firefox 34.1 , installed it slackpkg.

I downloaded the firefox and extracted it using tar xjvf
And then when I try to open from a terminal
I get above error
Error : no display specified

It also default firefox 4.0b12. It opens when I click on the firefox icon and but not via terminal.

I want to open extracted latest firefox via terminal.

Any solutions available for the same.

My Firefox browser says it needs to be updated so I downloaded the file but when I open it I can't see how to update it as there are just lots of files and folders. Is there another way to update programmes I am missing?

What are the recommended best security practices for using Firefox on a new Linux system (Centos 7 in my case)? I only access the web using Firefox using my regular, non-root, account. Other than that, what Firefox and/or system settings should I enable/disable in order to safeguard my system from malware scripts, viruses, etc? Also, are there similar Thunderbird settings that should be enabled/disabled?

Thanks in advance from a new Linux user

Trying to set up Virtual Host on Ubuntu 14.04.

Any help to solve this is greatly appreciated!!!

Here is info:

Directory: /var/www/mydb.com/public_html (owner set to $USER:$USER)

Permissions: sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/

Sample Page: /var/www/mydb.com/public_html/index.html (Shows Message)

Virtual Host Files:

Sites Available: mydb.com.conf
set ServerAdmin => admin@mydb.com
set ServerName => mydb.com
set ServerAlias => www.mydb.com
set DocumentRoot => /var/www/mydb.com/public_html

Sites Enabled: mydb.com.conf
ServerName mydb.com
ServerAlias www.mydb.com
ServerAdmin admin@mydb.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/mydb.com/public_html


I: disabled 000-default.conf w/a2dissite
enabled mydb.com.conf w/a2ensite

HOSTS File /etc/hosts:

127.0.1.1 localhost mydb.com
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 rick-Latitude-E6510

Result of localhost/mydb.com Same with www.mydb.com.

The requested URL /mydb.com was not found on this server.

I boot with Kubuntu Live CD,

go to the folder where I unpack the Firefox TAR ball,
and run ./firefox

How to solve this?

When someone send me a link on viber and click on it , pops up that dialog
"Service '/usr/bin/firefox' is malformatted"
How can fix this ?
I use slackware 14

I use Firefox 16 for my automation and it uses gconfd internally.
Is there a way to disable firefox from using gconfd. It writes a lot of data into saved_state which is leading to crashing total usage of CPU.

I have found –disable-gconf
but not sure how to compile firefox with that command


Is there a way to disable log messages from gconf?

Hi all,
I have a script where every line needs to be prefixed with sudo.
I was advised to run it as $ sudo /path/to/file.sh

This script needs to be scheduled in crontab to run. If I run it as above, will I be prompted for a password?
Also, one of the lines in the script is;
scp -r root@rem_server:/source/dir /local/dir
Does that mean I will have to provide two passwords: one for sudo and one for root?

Thanks,
