Download Firefox Deb For Ubuntu

Ubuntu uses Firefox as its default web browser, but since 2022 the app comes preinstalled as a snap package. Worse, if you uninstall the Firefox snap and run apt install firefox you DO NOT get a deb version but a transition package that reinstalls the Firefox snap.

The easiest way to do that is to copy the built-in one from /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop and modify it to suit you. Conveniently, Unity will override a system-wide .desktop file if you have one with the same name in your local directory so installing it with the same commands as you did for Nightly will work fine.

As others said, this guide is broken and it would be great if it could be updated to work again. For instance, since Firefox 59 (Nightly) upgrade I think that the icon path needs to be changed from

>Icon=/opt/firefox/browser/icons/mozicon128.png

>Icon=/opt/firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/default128.png

I have exactly the same problem with Ubuntu 20.04 and firefox 88.0.1. When I install the Debian package 'icaclient_21.4.0.11_amd64.deb' firefox can no longer open any page, but opera still works normally. When I remove the icaclient package, firefox works immediately (no need to close and restart firefox).

To check whether Mozilla Firefox is successfully installed on your Ubuntu PC, simply type firefox in the terminal and hit Enter. A new Firefox browser window will pop up.

If you need to kill firefox, you can try going under System->Adminstration->System Monitor and select the processes tab. Look for firefox and right click on it. It should give you an option to kill the process. If that does not work, you might try going into the Terminal and type:

ps -ef|grep firefox

After fighting a long while trying to determine wether Firefox 98.0.2 has a slow startup of about 20 seconds the first time after booting, I have came to the conclussion that either with ubuntu repositories or with mozilla ppa repositories in both cases firefox is installled with snap and in both cases firefox (at least in my 22.04) last very much to load. and I have found a second bug and it is that when trying to backup or restore bookmarks firefox does not interact with caja and you cannot get latest backup or make a new one.

I have completely removed snapd and dependencies based upon some guide found in internet and after using mozilla ppa I installed via apt "firefox-esr" version 91. with is fast and reliable.

I am not yet aware what this version is but I guess it has an extended support release intended for enterprises.

I have been using UM 22.04 for several weeks now. Last week, and update brought in the snap Firefox. No problem, I thought, I'll just remove it and re-install the deb version. No dice: they made the firefox deb in the repos simply install the snap. I will either use Firefox ESR from the PPA, or the tar.gz from Mozilla.

Jymm I started with Debian while it had Gnome2. After Debian I used Linux Mint firstly with cinnamon and finally with Mate, but I felt that there were no much upgradings so in 2014 I moved to Ubuntu Mate until today. I am confident that bugs like firefox under snap will be solved in the final version. Nevertheless I don't like closed boxex like snap or flatpak and that's might be the reason why I never had an Apple device. I think that if Cannonical moves forward with snap someone will find the way to keep apt alive, or perhaps I'm getting old and I'm reluctant to changes and used to handle my system in my way... Who knows. Particularly if Debian had a 5 years support I would be there.

Hello everyone, I run hello world project on windows chrome, it runs ok. But when I run that project on firefox 60.0.1 on Ubuntu, it doesnot work. The page is empty and always in state loading. What should I do

Thank you so much

I was bussy the past year developing one Racket package for elementary school kids, math-quiz. A few days ago it was completed to the level I considered polished enough to install it as a package on Racket-lang package server. Just to make sure it works everywhere, I installed several Linux distributions, just for testing. Program was developed on Mint Linux, so I knew it works there (what I'm interested in is html documentation for math-quiz, and help desk for Racket itself opening in Firefox), and the result of my testing was as follows:

Mint Cinnamon: both math-quiz, and Racket Help desk work

Fedora Gnome: both work

Manjaro Plasma: both work

Debian Gnome: both work

Ununtu Gnome (22.04 & 23.10): NOTHING WORKS! Firefox refuses to open local files, rendering my math-quiz and the whole Racket useless!

I spent one day, trying to find out, mostly asking questions on the net, why Firefox does not open local files. That turned out to be the wrong question, because most answers were "check your files", and change some settings in Firefox.

Then I asked on Racket group, and finally got the right answer, that boils down to one word: SNAP!

They could not help me with solution, but I found one myself.

I Installed a new version of Firefox directly from apt. Finally I had to enter:

snap disable firefox

and after that, finally, docs in math-quiz, and Help desk in Racket both work.

It's completely unclear how this either effects firefox or the operating system, it happened when i upgraded through Ubuntu's standard GUI upgrade notification, and i was also able to reproduce the problem with "sudo apt-get install --fix-broken". The updater always stalls during "==> Installing the firefox snap", and below i get this in the terminal:

Nothing seems to be functioning badly at this point, nothing about Ubuntu is screwed up and firefox works fine, however it would be nice to have a better understanding of what this was about and to get rid of the error message.

$ sudo snap install firefoxerror: cannot perform the following tasks:- Run hook connect-plug-host-hunspell of snap "firefox" (run hook "connect-plug-host-hunspell": -----update.go:85: cannot change mount namespace according to change mount...

Thanks for the report! This should be fixed in the 4.104 version currently available from the firefox extension store: -US/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager/. You should be able to force an upgrade in the extension management page. Let us know if you continue to see it after upgrading. e24fc04721
