I may have made a mistake in installing them in /usr/lib, but when I did a local search of my computer's HDD, I found the old .010 and 1.0 versions of FireFox and 0.9 version in /usr/lib. So, I installed them there in /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.1 and /usr/lib/thunderbird-1.0.
What's up with my desktop? I can't seem to access it. Oh well, I'll figure it out someday as I get through more chapters in my Linux books.
