This seems to become even more important as the rate of these apps updates are ever increasing and the release life expectancy of Centos/RHEL seems to be growing. For "core" functionality I still think sticking with one version per release is a good idea, but for stand alone apps (FF, thunderbird, etc) they need to keep more current. tar -xjf firefox-43.0.tar.bz2 sudo rm -rf /opt/firefox sudo mv firefox /opt/firefox43 Create Symbolic link for New Firefox as default. In here i am showing the latest version 43. Mozilla Firefox ESR gets security updates, therefore, guaranteeing secure connections. In addition, there is a Firefox ESR version, mostly used by enterprises that do not receive feature updates.
#DO I HAVE CURRENT VERSION OF FIREFOX DOWNLOAD#
There is a major difference in functionality, speed, and security between the outdated (or borderline outdated) versions and current versions. Download The Latest Version of Firefox 43 from their FTP site or use wget using a particular version. Depending on your Firefox browser version, there are variety of options to enable or disable automatic updates. It was text only and limited to 10Mbps(?) but it still worked. To the ones that posted that earlier version of FF (12?) still worked, the last time I booted my Commodore 64(several years ago) its web browser still worked. While I generally understand the premise behind holding to older, more stable versions of stuff on Centos/Redhat this is one time that I think it is a definite error. Some of the addons did not have a version that was both multiprocessor and V52 compatible. Had to cycle through the compatibility addon again to find all the multiprocessor incompatible addons(5 in my case). I shut down firefox and it still behaved the same. CentOS might be somewhat behind the curve, but it is STABLE and it WORKS. Part of the reason I jumped from Fedora to CentOS was I hated living on the "Bleeding Edge" where I did a whole lot of "bleeding". I came across a myriad of problems trying to switch from Current to Classic and back again. However, I’ve given up on Current until a stable version has been released. then I resort to installing it via tar. why do I use WF, I do so because I want to run legacy extensions and Firefox won’t do that anymore. rkhunter-, VMware-Player-, etc., etc., etc.
#DO I HAVE CURRENT VERSION OF FIREFOX INSTALL#
I try to install stuff via yum, and if, and only IF, I can find it in yum but is available as a tar file - ex. It you REALLY have to have the latest and greatest version you could download the firefox-57.0.1.tar.bz2 tarball from Mozilla and untar it. On a backup server I'm still running I have Fedora 8 (!!!) and I have FF 12.0 (!!!).
No it is NOT the latest and greatest but it works without problems that I have experienced. Debian also follows the same route however the experimental repo there contains the latest version of FF. Is there any way to get the latest version of Firefox. Kirk781 wrote:Currently, the repos contain the latest ESR release of Firefox.
