Installation Instructions
-------------------------------
Note: If you install in the default directory (which is usually /usr/local/mozilla), or any other directory where only the root user normally has write-access, you must start Mozilla first as root before other users can start the program. Doing so generates a set of files required for later use by other users. However, do not use sudo to run the installer as root because that can damage your profile.
