Firefox Community Forum

I am okay with just being sent the download for win 10 or 11 because I'm not sure why its even giving me such a out dated version. (side note I do want to mention that it is amazing Firefox has the option and goal to let you install a different operating system instead of locking you out to just a Linux version and i do want to say i don't use Firefox as my main browser but a back up from now on because of the accessibility)

when the Firefox install asks for a password, which password are they referring to?

Also, instructions say to use "sudo" in Terminal - how does one get to that ?

Dell Optiplex desktop, Linux Mint Mate 22 OS. Currently updated to FF 150.0. For several months, this machine has failed to load bookmarks, approximately half the time. Banner message displayed advising user to load bookmarks. Closing and restarting FF usually (but not always) corrects this. Also, last month or so, bootup displays single window, even if there were two or more on previous shutdown. In settings menu, FF is set to re-open previous windows and tabs. Also on boot, this machine takes much longer to open FF than an older Dell Inspiron laptop, which is otherwise slower than this desktop. When FF icon selected in desktop, just before it opens, the tray flashes the missing extra window but it is not shown or available in the tray and does not load.

The two machines are set up identically, both in FF settings and with the same add-ons- Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin. Just looked in Synaptic of both machines and the laptop shows two FF items as installed- FF 150.0 +linuxn The FF Web Browser and FF-en locale English language pack. The desktop Synaptic shows no FF items installed (!). The laptop runs as expected, opening FF with all windows and bookmarks. Both machines received FF 150.0 via update manager.

There is a document produced by Mozilla Support entitled Install Firefox on Linux. There are tow commands explicitly for Trixie. They both start with cat <<eof. the first one didn't work and was obviously incorrect. after much digging i found that wrapping piece eof like this 'eof' works. did not figure out, someone else did. hope mozilla support will update file. < p></eof.>

I use Firefox on Windows. I like it. But I also have an HP Chromrbook and I would rather use Firefox than Chrome. But I really don't want to do the entire Linux dance. Is there an easier way to get Firefox for my HP Chromebook?
