270974 - Multi-user installation is not documented.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 358084

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Nick Jacobs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

The installation instructions in the release notes apply only to single-user
installations. On a Linux machine it makes more sense to install into /usr/bin
so that all users can share the executable. The installation instructions give
no guidance as to exactly how this should be done, they assume every user will
install a separate copy of Firefox.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read release notes



Actual Results:  
See "Details"

Expected Results:  
The Release Notes should explain how to do a shared installation.

Its now covered in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox

The Problem with the instructions in the release notes is also covered in Bug 358084. Marking this as dupe of 358084 for the release note feedback
