In case you run into issues let me know in the comments section below. Firefox comes preinstalled in Ubuntu unless you are using Ubuntu minimal version. Hope the steps have been helpful in successfully setting up Firefox Quantum on your computer. Firefox is the default web browser in a number of Linux distributions and Ubuntu is one of them. Open terminal emulator program and key in the command below: sudo apt remove iceweasel Conclusion Certain add-ons that work on Firefox Quantum won’t work on Iceweasel and if you happen to fall on the same pithole as I do, you might start considering uninstalling it. It’s not really necessary to uninstall Iceweasel (or Firefox ESR) but I’ve encountered issues on rare occasions when I launched Iceweasel on Applications list (because of its Firefox logo!) add-ons tend to break and the browser starts popping up weird dialog boxes informing some add-ons just don’t work right. Once saved to the desired directory, hit the same key combination i.e., CTRL+H to make hidden folders and files invisible. If hidden folders do not appear visible on save dialog box, press CTRL+H to make them visible.
If you don’t know what that is, key in whoami in a terminal program and it’ll print out your username. Then replace with your actual username on your computer. We downloaded the web browser from the website and then extracted it to our home directory ourselves, which is totally different from how apt does the installations for any packages.Īnyway there is a solution to that, open gedit text editor and copy the below texts:
#Firefox download linux install
That’s because we didn’t install Firefox Quantum using package management tool such as apt. You’ve just set up Firefox Quantum on your computer, but you might be wondering why there is no icon for it on the Applications list. Review system requirements Put Firefox on all your devices Take your privacy with you everywhere. Make sure your operating system is up to date for the best experience.

Display Firefox Quantum on Applications list Firefox is for everyone Available in over 90 languages, and compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux machines, Firefox works no matter what you’re using or where you are. Next time you click on the shortcut web button on your keyboard, Firefox Quantum will be the browser that launches. Select the checkbox to set Firefox Quantum as the default web browser. You might even be asked to set it as the default web browser on the first launch. You’re all done and you can start browsing the web from the latest Firefox Quantum you’ve just installed. Open the firefox folder and double-click on that cog-like icon labelled “firefox” to launch the web browser. Then move that extracted folder to your user root directory i.e., /home/. Double click the tarball to extract it on your current directory. Once you’ve downloaded the Firefox tarball, it’s time to head over to the file manager (Nautilus) and browse to the Downloads folder. In case you are browsing from Iceweasel, you will get a prompt to download a *.tar.bz2 file (aka tarball file), first tick Save the file and select OK to start downloading.
