I am using Linux and want to upgrade my Firefox to version 3.6. I clicked on the link on the Mozilla webpage and it only gave me the option of saving the file, which I did, and the Downloads window opened with 'firefox-3.6.12.tar.bz2' in it. When i click on this to open it, it pops up with the Launch Application window asking which application I want to open it with. I don't know which one I am meant to use..?? It is a BIN file. Also, where will I find the application in my folders/netbook?
