I am on Pop-OS and have downloaded and installed firefox developer edition (formerly aurora) under /opt/firefox. Note, the PPA for aurora is outdated and no longer works (to my knowledge).
Now firefox developer edition is saying there is an update. So I followed this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-release
which shows how firefox should auto-update itself. However, on linux this is not the case. Instead I have to follow the link which instead of showing me the update file, only lets me download all of firefox again.
There has to be a better way to update firefox developer edition on linux, than downloading and extracting it to /opt/firefox every single time.
Hey @plwt. Thank you! Please let me know when it is corrected. I much prefer Firefox developer edition but have found getting it on Linux unnecessarily complicated. It would also be nice if y’all could add it to pop-shop so that it will automatically be managed by the system, than how it is now (having to download and reinstall developer edition each time there is an update)
@dannycolin I already did that when I first installed Firefox. I still just get the pop up and clicking “install update” takes me to the Firefox homepage as if I am to reinstall Firefox from scratch.
