Daniel McFarland & Chris Jones--

First, as to my reasoning for a manual download of FF:  I couldn't think of
anything else to do.  It will not execute (and no, I have no idea as to why
it won't start).  So this is what I get from the terminal after reloading
from the Synaptic Package Manager:

*nat at nat-desktop:~$** ls*
AdbeRdr9.3.3-1_i486linux_enu.bin  Documents              Pictures
Adobe                             examples.desktop       Podcasts
AdobeReader.desktop               Firefox_wallpaper.png  Public
Azureus Downloads                 hs_err_pid25054.log    Templates
bin                               hs_err_pid25604.log    troubleshoot.txt
Desktop                           Music                  Videos
*nat at nat-desktop:~$* *cd bin*
n*at at nat-desktop:~/bin$* *ls*
*Firefox*
*nat at nat-desktop:~/bin$* *Firefox*
No command 'Firefox' found, did you mean:
 Command 'firefox' from package 'firefox' (main)
Firefox: command not found
*nat at nat-desktop:~/bin$* *firefox*
nat at nat-desktop:~/bin$ *kill firefox*
bash: kill: firefox: arguments must be process or job IDs
nat at nat-desktop:~/bin$

The only reason that I'm going through this pain is that I would like to
very much watch this multi-media presentation here (
http://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=lobby.jsp&eventid=164061&sessionid=1&key=83AA8E95C2CA30D0D5A5A3AC3FBA8E4E&eventuserid=39463704)
and FF is the only viable option.

Any thoughts/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
