replace firefox esr with firefox 59
replace firefox esr with firefox 59
Hello,
I'm new to Debian. Because of certain addons (keepassxc-browser) I would like to use firefox 59.02. In Firefox 52 I can't use this addon. Now my question is: How can I replace Firefox esr with Firefox 59.02. What I already tried is https://blog.sombex.com/2018/01/install ... repos.html. I cannot download the addon because it says that I'm using Firefox esr. How can I solve this problem?>
I thank you for your response!

Just unpack the tarball in your home folder and run it from there, no need to use `sudo` at all

Well, it would be fine if you just replace /opt/firefox with ~/firefox in all the commands, so it's just half-baked.

you need sudo to infect/cleanse/rampage through the system.

Re: replace firefox esr with firefox 59
Man, don't blindly follow bad advice! There's a lot of bad advice on the Internet. Tutorials found on blogs, forums and other sites often include instructions that will break your system in subtle ways. Don't simply follow the first advice you find, or the tutorial that seems the easiest. Spend some time reading the documentation and compare the difference between tutorials. It's better to take the time to figure out the correct way to do something first than spending even more time fixing a broken system later. You would not let some random stranger feed your baby; do not execute commands without first understanding what they do. And yes, DontBreakDebian!

There's lots of blogs that say lots of very stupid things, like the Food Babe's, Goop, flat-earthers, or antivaxxer's. Volume does not equal correctness.

So...why exactly are you asking this question? Seems you found your confirmation, so proceed down your chosen path at your risk, just know those blogs probably will not offer any support for leaving your system with a 7 year itch.smily01 wrote:Hi!,

Re: replace firefox esr with firefox 59
From the above mentioned "blog"
Does Debian not use the "cd" command, any more ? just typing the name of directory in the terminal doe not work for me ?First of all open a terminal and change your current directory to desktop by typing 'Desktop' without quote on terminal.Now download the package,
Code: Select all
$ Desktop
ksh: Desktop: cannot execute - Is a directory

Re: replace firefox esr with firefox 59
Thanks, but the blog says:
This:
Same for me , this works:"change your current directory to desktop by typing 'Desktop' without quote on terminal"
Code: Select all
$ cd Desktop
$ pwd
/home/papaparrot/Desktop
$
worked fine for me, I don't have "sudo", and had no problem.Just unpack the tarball in your home folder and run it from there, no need to use `sudo` at all
But, why would any one want to do that to their system ? I don't think I will install that.by HuangLao »---snip--you need sudo to infect/cleanse/rampage through the system.
