So now I have Firefox esr 24.4.0 that checks with Mozilla to see if it is the latest release and then says that it is. I did go to the Mozilla download page and found a Ver 24 download, unlabelled as to which sub-number it was (when I downloaded it, the file did identify that it was 24.7.0). I was under the impression that what is in the repositories, especially for a stable distro, is tweaked and tested to ensure compatibility and that what is on the developers' servers is not, necessarily.
#Firefox esr 24.7.0 install#
I didn't understand why it is always better to install from the Mozilla servers. OK, so the popup is legit, and presumably from Mozilla since Debian doesn't notify about updates in that manner. Read this answer in context 👍 1 All Replies (15)
Use the file manager to go back and open /etc/apt/sources.list and uncheck the Linux Mint entries. Then rename the original directory back to firefox. There will be a new one named firefox created by the installation. The V32 will now be listed along with the 24.4.Īfter installation, go back to the Firefox profile directory. Now you can install Firefox either with another command: Sudo gpg -keyserver -recv-keys 3EE67F3D0FF405B2 There is a provision under Other Software to add a repository. Use the file manager to open /etc/apt/sources.list. Theoretically, you can do this with a terminal command, but my installation had trouble with some kind of naming confusion with Iceweazel even though that wasn't installed. Use the software manager to uninstall Firefox 24.4 and it will prompt with any associated files that can also be deleted. Use the file manager to temporarily rename the profile directory home/.mozilla/firefox to something like home/.mozilla/firefoxsave. This method loads and installs it from there with just a few commands.įirst, you need to preserve the current profile and remove the current version of Firefox. Linux Mint has a Debian-based version and that repository has Firefox V32. The gist of this method appears on a number of sites. I'll close the loop on this question since I found a simple solution and it appears that a number of other people have the same problem.
