bash: ./firefox: No such file or directory
root@WHC60:/usr/local/src/firefox# ls -la
total 0



Actual results:

I ls'd the directory I put FireFox 41 in, then did a ./firefox -no-remote which told me the profile was in use and I couldn't launch a second copy, then I added the -P option and it told me ./firefox no such file; so I ls'd the directory again and found it to be empty.


Expected results:

I expected that the contents of the directory would still be there
