tsk tsk....you didn't follow what I wrote
it's ok....the package for firefox is actually mozilla-firefox....which means you have to follow what I wrote up above exactly!
so, do this (commands are in bold text):
as root (su in a user console or login as root)
type
apt-get install mozilla-firefox
and it will do the rest!
ahem, in my defense it was late and I was tired, but that's no excuse :(
thanks for correcting me :) On another issue, Firefox takes up 30 MB??? Thought this was supposed to be the streamlined, light, advanced version of Mozilla!
Ah whatever, I just want another browser (and Firefox is my current choice over IE and Opera).

Isn't here something that must be done before issuing the 'apt-get install mozilla-firefox' ciommand? --- This command didn't work for me.

1. you must be root, so 'su' before.
2. update your package list, 'apt-get update' before doing the 'apt-get install mozilla-forefox'.
That should work...
I finally got mozilla-firefox running but it took more than just those few steps that were presented in this thread
What I did first is edit /etc/apt/sources.list to include these sources;
deb http://www.backports.org/debian stable mozilla-firefox
deb-src http://www.backports. org/debian stable mozilla-firefox
I placed these two sources at the top of the list of the other deb sources.
Then, I did the following as root:
pon
apt-get update
I let it run until I saw the completion of the 'backports' lines, a matter of perhaps 30 seconds.
then pressed the CTRL C keys to halt the update.
Then, I did:
apt-get install mozilla-firefox
The installation took quite a while but now I have firefox running beautifully in knoppix (HD)
My problem apparently was although I had several deb sources listed in /etc/apt/sources.list, none of them could supply firefox. It wasn't until I added:
deb http://www.backports.org/debian stable mozilla-firefox
deb-src http://www.backports. org/debian stable mozilla-firefox
that apt-get install mozilla-firefox worked.
I found those two sources by doing a Google search for 'firefox debian'
I'm curious to know what deb source 'c123' used to download firefox. I have over a dozen sources and none of worked.
Now, if only I can get mozilla-thunderbird installed
deb-src http://www.backports.org/debian stable mozilla-firefox
instead of:
deb-src http://www.backports. org/debian stable mozilla-firefox
