Most do not use there HDA as a desktop. Those that do use what the Fedora repo provides. It is available in the Fedora 15 repo, but Amahi does not support that version.

By simply googling, you can find how to add FireFox 6 to Fedora 14.

I ran the following commands (as root and in this order) to get Firefox 6.0.2 on my file server:

Code: Select all

tar -cvzf $HOME/mozilla-firefox-profiles-backup.tar.gz $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/ rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-14.rpm yum --enablerepo=remi list firefox yum --enablerepo=remi install firefox xulrunner6

Thanks for sharing. I have added a page in the wiki with your instructions. Please feel free to update when needed.

I removed the 2 lines for RPM Fusion as we have web applications that install those.
