Had problems upgrading before and Asus help talked me through it. I installed an early version and then could do the 3 or 4 updates to get to version3.6.8 with no problem.

Today message appears telling me to update to above version.

However trying to update as above and getting failed message. The tar.bz2 is not listed in my applications so cannot allocate an application to open/run.

the file downloaded is /tmp/firefox-3.6.10.tar-1.bz2

Any help much appreciated.

Mozilla doesn't have an installer version of Firefox for the Linux platform, installation has to be done manually,

You mentioned getting Asus help, which Linux distro do you have installed?
Is it "factory installed"?
