Since I use ubuntu I just installed it via sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5 then modified the pre-existing sym link in /usr/bin to point to the 3.5 ver. However, for some reason they remove the sym link when you remove version .3.0 I think this is just a small oversight by the ubuntu packageing team. I kind of like the shiretoko icon... It's firefox sans the fire... And fox =)

Yes, shiretoko is v3.5 so I guess you installed it into your home dir. So you could probobly just right click on the desktop and create launcher then make the command /home/pete/firefox-3.5 %u
I have installed it on all of my machines, I ran into this problem and did ex-
actly that. It worked every time, seems something gets KONFUSED at ti-
mes when you upgrade to 3.5. You get no icon anywhere on the desk top,
or the bars, so I just did as you indicated above and it worked just fine.Yes
the old ones were left around at times and they were broke, those that were
left I just went into properties and corrected the command to point to the
correct location and it worked just fine. This did not happen on all machines
just a couple. Most of the time it did a correct install and put a icon some-
where. REMEMBER, the icon will be labeled Shiretoko and in my case was
sort of blue like a photo of Uranus, hmm maybe it WAS a photo of Uranus.

Don't believe me? Here it is:

I got tired of klicking on Uranus to open Firefox and replaced the icon. B=]
