<title>Installation of Firefox</title>
<para>The configuration of <application>Firefox</application> is very

discussed. Refer to the <xref linkend="mozilla"/> instructions for

<para>Compile and install <application>Firefox</application> by
running the following commands:</para>

<para>You should add the <option>--with-system-jpeg</option> switch
to the <command>configure</command> script if you have
<application>libjpeg</application> installed.</para>
<para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>
<para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>make install &amp;&amp;

cp -Lf dist/private/nss/*.h dist/public/nss/*.h \
/usr/include/firefox-&firefox-version;/nss</userinput></screen>
<para>To enable multi-user operation, execute the following as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>cd /usr/lib/firefox-&firefox-version; &amp;&amp;
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD" &amp;&amp;
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="$PWD" &amp;&amp;
./regxpcom &amp;&amp;
./regchrome &amp;&amp;
touch `find . -name *.rdf`</userinput></screen>
<note>
<para>You should run <command>/usr/bin/firefox</command> once as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user (or any user with
write privileges) to create some necessary additional files in the
<filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> hierarchy.</para>
</note>
<para>Lastly, unset the build variables from the unprivileged user's
environment:</para>

unset BUILD_OFFICIAL &amp;&amp;
unset MOZ_PHOENIX</userinput></screen>

<sect2 role="configuration">
<title>Configuring Firefox</title>
<para>No specific configuration is required as long as the
<command>firefox</command> script is in the user's path. If
<application>Firefox</application> is installed in a non-standard location,
then make a symlink to the <command>firefox</command> script from
<filename class="directory">/usr/bin</filename>.</para>
<para>Many applications look for <command>netscape</command> when they
need to open a browser. You may make the following symlink for convenience
(as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user).</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>ln -v -sf firefox /usr/bin/netscape</userinput></screen>
<para>For installing various <application>Firefox</application> plugins,
refer to <ulink url="http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/linux.html">Mozdev's
PluginDoc Project</ulink>. If you have <xref linkend="jdk"/> already
installed, create the following link as the
<systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user to utilize the
<application>JAVA</application> plugin: </para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>ln -v -s $JAVA_HOME/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so \
