I use Firefox on my other computers. When I try to download FF it wants me to use FF for Android. The Raspberry Pi has a Debian Linux distro on it, not Android. What version of FF do I need and how do I tell your download site to let me have it?

Chosen solution

Presumably the Raspberry Pi is capable of running the Android version of Firefox.

As for running a Debian Firefox Desktop version does the distro offer its own Firefox build to install, or an equivalent "Iceweasel " ?

There may also be an option to install a Mozilla Firefox, presuming the device meets the specification, and assuming your Debian has the necessary libraries.


I will update this thread as it is easily found because it is solved & it will be present on the new Mozilla Firefox forum software.

Iceaweasel is now back to the original name of Firefox. Debian has official builds of Debian known as Raspbian for the Raspberry Pi Raspberry sites will explain how to install Firefox. Note there is also a separate Mozilla mailing list and forum equivalent
