Firefox Developer Edition and Beta: Try out Mozilla’s .deb package!

Knusper, 7 months ago

I’m excited for these, especially with them likely coming for stable Firefox soon, too. My $DAYJOB hands out Ubuntu laptops and every time, we have to scrape off the Firefox Snap, because e.g. saving images doesn’t work and the Downloads directory is in some mystical place somewhere underneath ~/snap/. These APTs will almost restore the usability of other distros…

There are flatpaks and firefox decides to publish debs.

“Gee, folks are hating up on snapd! Hah, I know! Let’s make our own .deb and --”

“…but .deb files does not provide isolation or any other sandboxing-related feature.”

“OH, SHUT UP NERD!”

More annoying because Mozilla does publish the stable flatpak, just not betas.
