| shpandy | Hi | 20:56 |

| shpandy | Hey foss | 20:57 |
| shpandy | Can you help me? | 20:58 |
| fossfreedom | sure - will try - depends on the question | 20:59 |
| shpandy | I am trying to get firefox on the app list in the top left, currently it only opens when I type firefox in to a terminal | 20:59 |
| shpandy | when it does open it does so with a grey box | 20:59 |
| shpandy | rather than logo | 20:59 |
| fossfreedom | how did you install firefox? | 20:59 |
| shpandy | Downloaded from the website, extracted the file and sent it to /usr/bin | 21:00 |
| fossfreedom | k - that is your issue. | 21:00 |
| fossfreedom | why did you download and install directly rather than from the repos? | 21:01 |
| shpandy | I followed the first link after I googled 'how to install firefox' :D | 21:01 |
| fossfreedom | sudo apt install firefox | 21:01 |
| shpandy | see... that would have been my first guess | 21:02 |
| shpandy | but I wansn't confident it would work | 21:02 |
| shpandy | and now I have shamed my family for six generation | 21:02 |
| fossfreedom | lol | 21:02 |
| shpandy | any tips on how to remove my previous download? or do I just go in and scoop it out with rm firefox when in usr/bin | 21:03 |
| fossfreedom | not really sure - I've never installed directly | 21:04 |
| shpandy | my add-ons are still there | 21:04 |
| shpandy | when I open using the new link | 21:05 |
| fossfreedom | addons would be stored in your local firefox profile - not system wide | 21:05 |
| shpandy | when I open firefox in the terminal now it comes with the logo | 21:06 |
| shpandy | has it maybe just improved the direct download I had started? | 21:06 |
| fossfreedom | firefox from the repos is correctly patched to display stuff like logos correctly. | 21:07 |
| shpandy | So it probably deleted all the old files ? | 21:08 |
| shpandy | the ones I had previously installed | 21:08 |
| fossfreedom | possibly - as I said I've never installed directly so I've no idea how the installer scatters the files around. | 21:10 |
| shpandy | :D okaay, it seems to be working fine so I will leave it alone | 21:11 |
