How many run Rocky as desktop environment?

Can u not update Firefox from the Application Menu>Help>about dialog ?

Apparently not I see …

I use Firefox Developer and you can update there from said dialog.

Download via Firefox Developer Edition
Last used https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-devedition-latest-ssl&os=linux64&lang=en-GB

mkdir -p /opt/mozilla/firefox/developer
tar --overwrite -xpf <path>/firefox-dev.tar.bz2 -C /opt/mozilla/firefox/developer # creates sub dir firefox
ln -s /opt/mozilla/firefox/developer/firefox/firefox-bin /usr/bin/firefox-dev
\cp -f <path>/firefox-dev.desktop /usr/share/applications/firefox-dev.desktop

Can’t recall where the .desktop file came from but contents are ;

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Firefox Developer Edition
GenericName=Web Browser

[Desktop Action new-window]
Name=Open a New Window
Exec=/usr/bin/firefox-dev %u

[Desktop Action new-private-window]
Name=Open a New Private Window
Exec=/usr/bin/firefox-dev --private-window %u

(Maybe the downloaded (as opposed OS pre-installed) version of FF standard allows you to update too, dunno, haven’t tried it)
