>Installers aren't that bad Nothing stops you from getting Firefox on Debian the "Windows" way.

  Tried it, couldn't get it to work. This was Raspbian, though.

    Did you try to download the x86 build? If so, it's your fault. If they don't provide an arm build, or if you got the arm build, it's Mozilla's fault, not Debian's.

    As far as I can tell, Mozilla doesn't provide official Firefox builds for any ARM Linux device. The official Linux x86_64 build for version 44.0.2 is here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/44.0.2/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-44.0.2.tar.bz2 https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/44.0.2/linux-x8... I don't know who uses those builds, though. We can be sure that the year of Linux on the desktop will never arrive if we expect end-users to unpack tarballs. Edit: To make that last part a little more constructive, perhaps this will help with distro-agnostic packaging of official Linux builds of Firefox and other applications: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/SandboxedApps https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/SandboxedApps

    1. Unpack. 2. Run.

    My contact details are in my profile - I'm happy to help you get this working if you're still interested. It can be hard to find correct instructions for things like manual installs, especially when distros like Raspbian can be slightly different from their upstream sources.
