How do I start Firefox in Debian 5 directly from shell script without a dialog asking what to do?
Running Debian 5.04. I downloaded the tarball from Mozilla website and extracted the files to my home directory. When I double-click on the Firefox start-up shell script, I get a dialog window asking if I want to run ina terminal window, display the shell's contents or run the program. Choosing "Run" starts Firefox successfully, but I'd like to by-pass the dialog and just have Firefox start. How to do this? TIA
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
I unpacked the tarball to my home directory.
User Agent
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en; rv:1.9.0.19) Gecko/20080528 Epiphany/2.22

Right click on the desktop and choose 'Create Launcher'. There enter the details so start the program directly not via a script. This did the trick for me for another program.
