It includes links to all necessary files and a link to a file to test the functionality of the browser.

Installing Mozilla Download the Mozilla Installer and save it to a convenient location. Go to the directory in which you've downloaded the installer. Uncompress it by typing: tar -xzvf mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-1.6-installer.tar.gz This will create a mozilla-installer/ directory. Execute the mozilla-installer command inside this directory and follow the on screen directions to install Mozilla. This may take a few minutes as there are many files to download and install.

Installing MathML Fonts To correctly view pages with math content, you will need to install some additional mathematics fonts. Follow these instructions, or contact your system administrator.

Test the Installation Mozilla should now be able to browse and render MathML. As a test, go to Mozilla's MathML test page and verify that the equations look correct. If you have any difficulties, please contact us.
