Installing firefox on linux

Getting Firefox installed on your computer is your first step to using it. The below reading will show you how to install Firefox on Linux.

Many Linux distributions include Firefox by default. Some distributions include IceWeasel, which is a version of Firefox with the Firefox trademarks removed.

Most Linux distributions have a package management system that lets you easily install Firefox. Generally, you should install from package management. Package management will:

• Ensure that you have all the required libraries
• Install Firefox in a way that works best with your distribution
• Create shortcuts to launch Firefox
• Make Firefox available to all users of your computer
• Make removing Firefox work the same as removing any other application

Package management also has some downsides:

• It may not give you the latest version of Firefox
• It may give you a version without Firefox branding
