I am getting the error "command not found" at the linux terminal when trying to run the extracted tar.bz2,as given in the installation instructions.Any advice?
I have extracted firefox at the linux terminal in my own home directory,and trying to run the executable called firefox.But it is saying "command not found".

You appear to have 64-bit Linux as the Linux builds served on mozilla.org are 32-bit.

Also,it is saying when I am putting the full path(and I am pretty sure I have not made any mistakes in there) "No such file or directory."
If you start Firefox from a directory then you need to use ./firefox
I use scripts like this to run multiple versions at once:
#!/bin/sh cd /usr/local/firefox ./firefox -no-remote -P "default"

You can use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and run multiple Firefox instances simultaneously, but do not use this with the default profile.
I tried that...still getting this error
bash: ./firefox: No such file or directory.
Are you running this command in the directory where you installed Firefox (ls -l)?
Yes.In the same directory.
So, is there a firefox file in that folder?
What is the output of ls -l?
Did you check the permissions to make sure that you have read access?
Output of ls -l

I tried to make it easier to read.

That looks OK to me, so starting Firefox via ./firefox should work AFAICT.
Does this also happen if you create a desktop launcher and browse to this location?
I use an Openbox desktop,so I dont use launchers.But my attempts at opening firefox are always unsuccessful.
Did you make sure that you meet the System Requirements for this Firefox version?

My problem is solved,but could you point me to some rescource explaining the nature of this(32 bit builds giving this sort of error).
I am getting the same error. Can you please let me know how you have fixed it ?
