Does anyone know how to install real Firefox on the Debian distribution (not Iceweasel or Firefox ESR)?
Real firefox on Debian [SOLVED]
Apparently, there is something called Debian sid with some extra packages. Anyway, instructions are at https://packages.debian.org/sid/arm64/firefox/download. Basically,
adding a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list like this: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main. Then you do a sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade and then install.
This might not be such a good idea. Now I find that mesa/openGLES support appears to be broken, so maybe I have introduced an incompatibility into my dependency tree. The answer may be to avoid Debian if you want to use Firefox. Does anyone understand this better?
