I am trying to install 32 version of Firefox on a VM running RHEL8.6.

I sourced the installer from https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/115.1.0esr/linux-i686/en-US/firefox-115.1.0esr.tar.bz2 here and i followed the installation instructions mentioned here .

After the installation is done, whenever I try to run Firefox, I get the following error

-bash: /usr/local/bin/firefox: No such file or directory

I checked the environment variable and it was et correctly.

Please let me know where I am going wrong.

Thank you.

The firefox-115.1.0esr.tar.bz2 is a archive as there is no installer.

Why the 32-bit and not the 64-bit version linux-x86_64 ?

You run the firefox-bin in the firefox folder to start Firefox.

Thank you for your reply James.

Yes, I understand it's an archive, but I followed the installation steps mentioned in the second link. Have I done something wrong while installing ?

I have to test the application that I am building on 32-bit version for compatibility.

Yes, I ran the firefox-bin under the firefox folder, but it throws the same error mentioned above.

Not sure about VM however you could just place the Firefox folder in HOME which will also make it easy to get internal Firefox updates from Mozilla.

Also are you using 32-bit or 64-bit RHEL 8.6 because if you are using 64-bit then the 32-bit Firefox will not work due to missing dependencies.

James, I'm coming here because I need you to see the two private messages I sent you, on your profile says that you mostly only look at messages from moderators and admins. Please answer me.

Thanks.
