解压缩
下载成功后，上传到服务器，然后解压缩。
gunzip -c Mozilla.base.tar.gz|tar xvf -

必要的软件包
解压后，进入Firefox目录，查看README.install，其中提到一些前提软件包。
1. Before Firefox(64 bit) can be installed, the prerequisite RPMs from the
Firefox CD or from the AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications must be installed.
The specific 64 bit RPMs required by Firefox are the following:
atk-1.4.0-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
expat-1.95.7-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
fontconfig-2.2.2-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
freetype2-2.1.7-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
gettext-0.10.40-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
glib-1.2.10-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm
glib2-2.2.3-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
gtk2-2.2.4-4.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
gtk+-1.2.10-4.aix5.1.ppc.rpm (AIX Toolbox CD) or gtkplus-1.2.10-4.aix5.1.ppc.rpm (FTP site)
libjpeg-6b-6.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
libpng-1.2.1-6.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
libtiff-3.6.1-2.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
pango-1.2.5-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
xft-0.0-0.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
xrender-0.0-0.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
zlib-1.2.2-4.aix5.1.ppc.rpm

If you have access to the Internet and are not behind a proxy server, try
running the download-prerequisites.sh script. which is extracted along with
these instructions in the Mozilla.base.tar.gz file. This script. will use the
AIX ftp command to download all of the required RPMS to the current directory.
（我没有用，可以尝试一下）

The above RPMs can also be found on the following website:

  http://www.ibm.com/servers/aix/products/aixos/linux/

Before installing the prerequisites from the AIX Toolbox, please ensure that
there is adequate space in the /opt file system on AIX. Installing all of the
RPMS requires about 75 MB of free space in /opt.
执行df -mv /opt命令检查/opt目录是否有至少75M的空闲空间，根据需要，执行chfs -a size=+100M /opt命令增加空间。

用下列脚本检查上述软件包是否安装：
rpm -q
atk
expat
fontconfig
freetype2
gettext
glib
glib2
gtk2
gtk+
libjpeg
libpng
libtiff
pango
xft
xrender
zlib

在下面提供的URL上可以下载上述要求的软件包，全部下载完成后，上传到服务器一个单独的目录，执行rpm -Uvh *.rpm安装。
http://www-03.ibm.com/servers/ai ... linux/download.html
软件包安装完成后，再次执行脚本检查是否成功安装。


安装Mozilla Firefox
切换到Firefox.base解压后的目录，执行以下命令进行安装：
installp -acgNXY -d . Mozilla.base.rte


启动mozilla
#mozilla



java支持
AIX自带java版本为1.4.2，可以满足Mozilla V1.7.13.0的要求。
检查/usr/mozilla/base/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so 链接是否存在，一下命令供参考。
ln -s /usr/java14/jre/bin/libjavaplugin_oji.so
      /usr/mozilla/base/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
     

其他设置
           
    Follow the steps above to install Mozilla. Once Mozilla is installed, it can be set as the default browser by running:

   smitty change_documentation_services  (AIX 5L V5.3)     - or -
   smitty change_default_browser         (AIX 5L V5.1 and V5.2)

    Specify /usr/bin/mozilla as the default browser command. This will set the DEFAULT_BROWSER environment variable used by the defaultbrowser script.

    The configuration will be effective after the next login.
