What the heck are they? I go to and I don’t see any darn RPM of firefox 3. Somebody said that RPMs exist for RPM based systems. Now, what you guys appear to be doing is talking about how to decompress archives or how to run the executable in an archive, but what about the old installation? This download from appears to be a compressed complete installation that doesn’t appear to interact with the old installation or replace it. You guys, some of you don’t know how to talk to people who are really ignorant do you? Anyway, the confusion is justifiable considering that the standard, at least in the Windows and Mac world – the paid worlds, that is – is that when you double-click an installer, that thing takes care of all the decompression of the archive, the locating of the old install, the upgrade and/or replacement, and the installation of needed binaries to make it all work. 🥺 Was this helpful?
