duplicate of /questions/1495342 thread

I try to install Firefox directly from the Mozilla repository.

For that, I read the article "Install Firefox on Linux" and followed the install instructions in first chapter "Debian-based distributions" step-by-step. (article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux)

Unfortunately, with every attempt to install Firefox, the Firefox LinuxMint (Ubundu) package will be still installed. The command to priorise the Mozilla repository seems to have no influenace.

How can I prevent/avoid using the LinuxMint/Ubundu repository? I wan't to install and update Firefox direct from Mozilla source.

I'm using Linux Mint 22.1 Xia base (Ubuntu 24.04 noble)

On my home page i have 2 rows of short cuts. Then the latest news listings. Can I change the types of news listings? For example one story might be from NPR while the next can be from CNN then another from MSNBC. Non of which interests me. Is there away to set sites in the settings to list News and events that I would be interested in? Sites like The Wire, Reuters, NewsMax, RT, The National Desk, etc. So would there be a way to get those headlines? Thanks

Hi, I have been experiencing issues lately with Firefox. Attempting to install it often comes up with errors suggesting file corruption but I eventually got it to install. However, now it crashes as soon as I open it and in the past before a system reboot on my PC, Firefox tabs crashed very often. I'm trying to diagnose the issue. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox multiple times.

As my laptop is currently experiencing other issues, if there's a specific driver that is causing trouble, it'd be great to figure out what's wrong and what is causing Firefox to not function.

My specs are: Asus Rog Strix G614JIR - (GPU: 4070RTX, CPU: IntelCore i9, SSD 1TB, 32GB RAM).

I have attached the most recent crash. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Do you want to delete this shortcut?" Not sure why it's suddenly done this.Should I delete the app via "Add remove" and re-install.

After installing update for Windows 11 23H2, Firefox would run but could not display pages. I tried re-installing Firefox with the online installer but it can't complete the installation and no Firefox.exe can't be found. I then tried downloading and installing the offline version. The installation appears to complete but Firefox doesn't launch and Firefox.Exe can't be found in C:/Program File/Mozilla/.
