I guess little research/reading here should answer your question.
Your distro provide you with documentation. Don't mind reading it before asking already answered question please.

Now I have read , and I have tried to install firefox : with netpkg : I have charged the first mirror of the list , i have selected firefox in the list and i have cliked the install bouton but i have the message : 'echec du téléchargement des paquets ' ( downloading package failed ) .

1) Are you connected to the internet?
2) Maybe the mirror is dead, so try figure and use another one.

Hello
Yes i am connected to internet .
I have tried other mirors , the dowloading of firefox is OK , the install is ok : no message . But at the end the firefox is not installed on the computer .

Did you try opening a shell console or hitting alt+f2 for command prompt and type in "firefox" for instance ?
It may be also mozilla-firefox etc. The package name is up to the distro so check how is it called in yours, and search for it.

This is pretty easy. Download the firefox-*.tar.bz2 (what the version numbers happen to be) file and download to where ever you download files and cd into that directory. Then (need to be root to do this):

This installs a "firefox" directory in lib64. The original firefox remains since it's named differently than just plain "firefox".

Next, cd into the /usr/bin directory, and blow away the "firefox" file (actually a sym-link) and create a new one:

This makes a new sym-link to the new firefox executable, with your menu's being none the wiser, so you can start the new version directly, just like you did the one that came with the distro.
