Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com Mozilla today released a press release announcing the availability of Firefox Nightly in.deb format for Debian, Ubuntu and Linux Mint distributions, making it easier to install Firefox in those distributions.

One of the highlights of this update is the APT repository, which enables Firefox Nightly to be installed in.deb format. This is a significant change for those who use traditional binary files distributed as.tar.bz2 archives.

Mozilla's APT repository allows users and administrators to install and update Firefox just like any other application on the system.

Firefox Nightly has also made intelligent optimizations to the compiler after switching to.deb format to further improve performance.

Mozilla has enhanced the installation package files and enabled all necessary security flags to ensure a safer browsing experience. You can also get the latest updates faster because the package is tied to the Firefox release process and you no longer need to create your own.desktop file.

CTOnews.com attaches here the steps to setup APT repository and install Firefox Nightly .deb package:

# First, import the Mozilla APT repository signing key:wget -q https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/repo-signing-key.gpg-O-| gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/packages.mozilla.org.gpg > /dev/null# The fingerprint should be 35BA A0B3 3E9E B396 F59C A838 C0BA 5CE6 DC63 15A3gpg --quiet --no-default-keyring --keyring /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/packages.mozilla.org.gpg --fingerprint | awk '/pub/{getline; gsub(/^ +|+$/,""); print "\n"$0"\n"}'# Next, add the Mozilla APT repository to your sources list:echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/packages.mozilla.org.gpg] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main"| sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list > /dev/null# Update your package list and install the Firefox Nightly .deb package:sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox-nightly For users who want to use Firefox Nightly in languages other than American English, we also created the.deb package that contains the Firefox language pack.
