Re: Installing newer firefox on a Leap 15.4 installation, can it be done?

I have downloaded firefox-140.9.1esr.tar.xz and "tar -xvf" the file in 
my /usr/local directory.

I am not finding on the mozilla pages for what command will execute the 
install, and what will happen to my existing version of 115.6.0esr.

I can not afford to corrupt the 115 version during the 140 install. I 
hope to run both versions for a while to get details settled.

Can you point me to the explicit install instructions for this case?

Many thanks, Allen
