  1. Good info! I liked the way you explained the installation of Firefox on Ubuntu.

  2. I don’t have admin privileges on my office comp and the systems guy flatly refused to install firefox on my PC. I’m stuck with ie 6 now :( . Is it possible to run firefox without installing it – something of a standalone thing?

Have any comments?
