Hello!
Novice user here. I am stumped trying to update my firefox browser. I
downloaded the tar.bz file, but not sure what to do (extract?) or use
the software center.
I also tried the directions for installing in ubuntu and installing
flatpack via a terminal, but failed but I am not sure why.
Could someone talk me through the steps?
I wait for the distro itself to update Firefox, unless there is some
feature I need terribly (then I still wait for the distro to update).
In other words, I
sudo apt install firefox
Which installs and maintains for me. Yes, it may lag the current FF
version by a small amount.
I have a vague memory of the .tar file. You have to use your archiver to
un-archive, then run it from the actual folder it creates, not from
where you'd normally run it. It's so long ago, I don't remember if it
updated so much as installed a parallel package (which needed to have
settings, addons, and bookmarks updated).
Is there some feature you *need*, above your installed version?
