However, the negative aspect of having such a community-driven browser is that it lacks support. As a result, users can find add-ons for nearly any purpose, in nearly any niche. Due to its open-source coding, developers and web firms have created countless add-ons and modifications. Mozilla Firefox is a community-developed web browser that is wickedly fast. Thankfully, Mozilla Firefox is just the web browser to satisfy those needs. It's my second language.Everyone loves speed when it comes to technology, right?įaster browsing, faster downloading, and faster searching. This solved the only problem I had with this exceptional Linux distribution: internet navigation in modern sites. Copy a Firefox icon with another name, like old Firefox, edit its properties, and explicitly declare /usr/bin/firefox %u instead only firefox %u as found in application aba. No modifications were made upon system installed (old) Firefox, so you can still run it. From any account, every time one clicks a Firefox icon, the up to date Firefox will be launched instead that old Firefox. In a terminal use the command: ln -s /usr/local/bin/mozilla/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefoxĭone. But /usr/local/bin comes first in that look up order, so.Īfter decompression, create a symbolic link in /usr/local/bin/ directory named firefox pointing to /usr/local/bin/mozilla/firefox. In OpenSUSE systems all "firefox icons" point to and execute the command "firefox", which means at all /usr/bin/firefox due look up order in $PATH system variable (in a terminal: echo $PATH to see its content. Use your preferred decompressor also, so you should have a /usr/local/bin/mozilla/firefox/ directory fulfilled with the installation files (including a "firefox" executable file within). You should previously create the mozilla directory, using a file manager like dolphin or that of your preference, or via terminal ( cd /usr/local/bin/ & mkdir Mozilla). tar.gz file (firefox-68.0.1.tar.bz2 on my case) using root account into the directory /usr/local/bin/mozilla/. If not so, download it manually from Mozilla site.ĭecompress the downloaded. Go to Mozilla ( ) using your Linux browser (final version to OpenSUSE 13.2 is 50.0.1) and download the up to date Firefox fitted to your system, like the site will suggest automatically. If you have an old version of OpenSUSE like 13.2 and do not have the option of updating the system and so updating Firefox from official repositories any more, you can still get the latest version of Firefox running, directly from Mozilla.
