14 | <para><parameter>--prefix=/usr</parameter>: Previously mozilla did
|

15 | not support the make install option. Hence, the package was installed in

16 | <filename>/opt</filename>. The package now supports "make install" and follows
|
---|
17 | the <acronym>FHS</acronym> guidelines for installation. Therefore the book now
|
---|
18 | recommends installation in a system wide prefix such as <filename>/usr
|
---|
19 | </filename>.</para>
