The Guide Show How-to Install Firefox 21 Beta Browser for PCLinuxOS 2012.08 Kde4 32bit Desktop.

 

The Firefox Beta Version can Coexist with the Others Firefox Versions without Troubles, this Mean that Once Fired Up it Will Just Load the Default Firefox Environment.

 

More than this Once Installed it Will Plug-In the Firefox Beta Channel and Like Every Other Firefox Version in the Future will Follow to be Automatically Updated to the Newest Firefox Beta Release. So it is Not a Wasting Time because You Install It Once and Keep Forever Freshly Updated :)

To Make Easier the Visualization of the Entire Process I have Inserted the Essentials Screenshots of the Installation.
