[Solved] Firefox (from official website)

#1 Post by pawRoot »

Hi

I am installing Firefox from official website, and i am following this guide: https://wiki.debian.org/Firefox,
and now 2 questions.

1.

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Firefox ''Your version''
Comment=Web Browser
GenericName=Web Browser
X-GNOME-FullName=Firefox ''Your version'' Web Browser
Exec=/path/to/firefox/firefox %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Icon=/path/to/firefox/icon
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
MimeType=text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;
StartupWMClass=Firefox
StartupNotify=true
^ here i would like to set path to icon, but i can't find any icon inside firefox folder i downloaded, do i have to use custom one (downloaded from internet), or am i missing something ?

2. Anyone know how to download latest Linux Firefox build from Mozilla website using for example wget ? I want to make shell script which configures Firefox automatically.

AFAIK there is no "universal url" which can download the latest version. You can change the numbering around for different versions.
There is only one Debian | Do not break Debian | Stability and Debian | Backports
