A script to easily install Firefox the tarball way on your Linux machine!
Learn how I scriptified it @ my relevant Medium article
If you are using Steam Deck, this script will install it on your system in like 15 seconds(so you don't have to wait 15 minutes for the repos to load)
Note: This installation script is by no means affiliated with Mozilla Firefox project, or its maintainers.
Clone the repo and run the script
git clone https://github.com/spookyorange/firefox-linux-install.git
cd firefox-linux-install
sh ./install.sh
To remove the application(if it has been installed with this method)
sh ./uninstall.sh
Updates are handled by running the install script again, you can just run the install script and all good!
sh ./install.sh
The script will install the application in the following destinations if you have installed locally:
- ~/.tarball-installations/firefox
- ~/.local/bin/firefox
- ~/.local/share/applications/firefox.desktop
- Fedora by Spookyorange
- SteamOS(Steam Deck) by Spookyorange
If you have a distro that you would like to add to the list of tested distros, please submit a pull request with the changes you made to the script and the distro you tested it on.
