EDIT: also, take it easy on me, i just moved from xp...i havent even figured out how to browse the hdd yet! just internet

if I recall correctly you should be able to download the new firefox and unzip or untar it into its own directory then just run the executable in it unless theyve added some sort of installer lately

to browse the hard drive use a file manager, I think dsl comes with roxfiler or midnight commander by default

Still having problem with Firefox 2.0?

Create a folder call download.

Download it here http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

Where you download it to, just cd to that directory just like in windows. You use ls instead of dir for Linux

When your in the directory just do tar -xvf firefox[press tab to finish the file name]

the tab feature is useful for long file name so you don't make any typo.

It should extract a folder call firefox in the directory where you download it to, just cd to firefox directory and type firefox &

Installing flash player 9 to Firefox.

Go here and download "Installer for Linux (GZ, 2.48 MB)"
http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html

Remember it's a tar file so you do the same thing to extract it, and when your done just copy the file libflashplayer.so to the firefox/plugins directory

Then go here http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to check your latest flash version. That's it, getting Firefox and flash is that easy on Linux. Every distro does it differently with their package manager but there's many ways.
