I purged firefox-esr, tried the bash script, and got this message "Failed to execute default Browser input/output Error"
After doing a lot of research on the web, I find that it's somehow connected with Google Chrome and Chromium - neither of which I have installed or ever used. I then tried the MX firefox, as suggested by Steven Pusser, but every time it opened up, I got an MX pic and ad, instead of firefox-branded page. Then I had to change it to wherever I wanted to go. I have now d/l'ed Midori as a backup browser, but I'm still working on installing the 'real' Firefox, but it will have to be from a download/extract/run.
Every time I purged the MX firefox and ran the bash script again, when I would click on the icon on the bottom of the desktop, I got the MX Firefox page - AFTER I'd purged it! I never did get the 'real' one from the bash script ....
