Mozilla launches .deb package for Firefox Firefox: developer version only and Beta channel with stronger theoretical performance

Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Coje_He for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, December 4, Mozilla today announced that it will provide the Firefox developer version and .deb package construction of the Beta channel for Debian-based Linux distributions such as Ubuntu.

The packages can be installed from a dedicated APT repository maintained directly by Mozilla developers, with the following CTOnews.com commands:

# Create a directory to store APT repository keys if it doesn't exist:sudo install-d-m 0755 / etc/apt/keyrings# Import the Mozilla APT repository signing key:wget-Q https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/repo-signing-key.gpg-O-| sudo tee / etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc > / dev/null# The fingerprint should be 35BAA0B33E9EB396F59CA838C0BA5CE6DC6315A3gpg-n-Q-- import--import-options import-show / etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc | awk'/ pub/ {getline Gsub (/ ^ + | + $/, ") Print "\ n" $0 "\ n"}'# Next, add the Mozilla APT repository to your sources list:echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main" | sudo tee-a / etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list > / dev/null# Update your package list and install the Firefox .deb package:sudo apt-get update & & sudo apt-get install firefox-beta # Replace "beta" by "devedition" for Developer EditionMozilla " The .deb package provides better theoretical performance and security. This is due to optimized compilers, enabling binaries with security flags, and because .deb has been integrated into the Firefox release process, relevant users can receive the latest updates in a timely manner.
