Automatically install Firefox Developer Edition

Also called "Firefox Aurora" There is no official and automatic way to download, install and integrate Firefox Developer Edition on a Linux system. This is my try at it.

Prerequisites

  • bash, tar and curl have to be installed
    • Fedora-based: sudo dnf install tar curl
    • Debian-based: sudo apt install tar curl
    • ...

Usage

curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/julius-boettger/install-firefox-dev-linux/master/install_firefox_dev.sh" | bash -s "en-US"
  • "en-US" is the language in which Firefox will be installed, which has to be provided before starting the installation, as it cannot be changed later!
    • you can change this to your preferred language like "de-DE"

ToDo

  • make script safer by checking for present installations etc
  • improve README.md
  • try wget instead of curl
  • remove bash dependency by executing with default shell?
  • also provide an uninstall script?
  • rename installation folder to firefox-dev or firefox-aurora
  • document how to make an alias to the binary
