I need a true installation at system level, not in my home directory.
How can I do that?
If you want an updated browser, you can download the tarball from here: http://nightly.mozilla.org/
It wont be a system level install. But at least you will have some security.
You dont have to install it.Just extract the contents into a folder and run the Firefox-trunk or Nightly executable by double clicking on it.
The tarball comes with all the dependencies and all, hence you will get the Nightly build of Firefox running, without installing.
Hope this helps.
