652045 - Aurora download file broken, no file found when executing "firefox"

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Brittany Dunlap]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

I have downloaded and redownloaded the aurora bzip. When executing the file firefox in terminal it tells me firefox-bin is not found, when it's right there in front of me.

Occurs in Ubuntu 10.10 installed, Linux Mint 10 Live CD and Linux Mint installed. So it seems either its a bug in all of Ubuntu (which Mint is made from) or simply a problem with the downloadable bzip of Aurora. I can't see that it's a problem with Ubuntu. I've never encountered this before.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download Aurora
2.Untar it
3.In terminal, execute ./firefox
4. See that firefox-bin is not found but is there
Actual Results:  
Firefox-bin is missing according to the terminal, but it's there.

Expected Results:  
Aurora executes

Firefox-5.0a2.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2

Use x64 Firefox instead of i686 ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-aurora/
