You should never touch /usr/bin or you may break your system. /usr/local is here for things you install yourself as root, and /usr/local/bin is at the beginning of the default $PATH (see /etc/profile), so everything is fine with it. A symlink should be sufficient for Firefox. If for some reason you need other directories in $PATH for all users, you can modify the /etc/profile file. > *sigh* Why does it have to be so hard?
