Want to run Librewolf, tar.bz2 or appimage
Being new on Debian 11 Stable. We would like to install Librewolf. This is not in the synaptic manager.It is running fine as appimage. But the update is for now only as tar.bz2 available. Better not to install that tar.bz2 on stable although the appimage works fine?

Hi
I haven't tried it myself but one option would be to install it as detailed at librewolf.net/installation/debian.

LibreWolf site writes:

sudo apt install librewolf -y
which sounds scary and makes me not want to use the -y flag. Just saying.LibreWolf site wrote: This may or may not work, depending on how close your distribution is to Ubuntu 20.

Damn you are right. They start off with 'Other Debian based distributions' But end with UB based distro...

I went ahead and installed librewolf, without using the scary -y flag. I see it's currently the same 96.0-1 version as flatpak's.

Hi kedaha we get this result after

These is my sources.list So something should be missing there?

Re: Want to run Librewolf, tar.bz2 or appimage
Changing source.list helped, had to do a restart to get it activated.
This 'component misspelt in sources.list?' might hold a clue. But not for me to find.
Went ahead with the the url you've provided in #2
Now finally got the latest LW running. (Don't like the persistent duckgo they've created in this version. But that's another story.)
Good grieve! what a hassle just to be able to get things updated / installed. Can't say Debian is very userfriendly...
kedaha, thanks again for your help!

Hi,
The correct sources.list I posted has no typos so double-check it.
This command:
should only show this:
Of course you can put the above line in sources.list, but it's a good idea to have non-Debian sources in sources.list.d.
After editing the sources.list file always remember to run

I just use the tar.gz version.
Extract, copy librewolf to .local/applications.

Re: Want to run Librewolf, tar.bz2 or appimage
I also tried the Flatpak version but the fonts were not so well-defined making it harder to read text. No doubt this could be remedied.
I hadn't tried librewolf before but I find it an interesting fork of firefox.
I suppose the advantage of using the repository is, since librewolf gets fast updates, one doesn't have to repeat copying and extracting every new tar.gz version to .local/applications.

Anybody who is interested in data protection should have a look at tis blog of a IT security specialist. He has tested +20 browsers.
LibreWolf: Data sending behavior desktop version - browser check part8
From a data protection perspective, LibreWolf leaves an excellent impression.

Although i am not pleased with how the duckgo search engine is pushed in this 96 version.
