How do you install Firefox without using Edge? By default there is no other browser on Windows, and presumably you need a browser to visit firefox.com, no? Or you carry Firefox installer around on a USB with you?
- throwawaysugar 3y agoWinkey+R and then powershell -Command "& {Invoke-WebRequest -Uri 'https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=win64&lang=en-US' -OutFile 'Firefox.exe'}" Not saying it's ergonomic but since you asked ;-)
- askonomm 3y agoI mean ... I guess this works. Edit: Actually now that I think about it I'm saving this to avoid using Edge myself in the future. Thank you!
- jodrellblank 3y ago-Command “& {thing}” is the same as -Command “thing”
- throwawaysugar 3y agoMakes sense, sorry... I hate PowerShell tbh. I just googled/ChatGPT'd that!
- extraduder_ire 3y agoDon't think they still have an FTP site, but I used the trick of opening ftp.mozilla.org in explorer to get an installer at least twice during the XP era. That said, I also used the MSN browser for fun sometimes, as well as web browsing in explorer.exe.
- xoac 3y agoI guess I don’t mind using edge to install firefox or safari on os x. You got me.
- askonomm 3y agoWell, Safari doesn't have 10 dark-pattern popups it greets you with when you first use it, before you can even type an address into the address bar. Edge does.
