# tmfi - The missing Firefox installer

![Screenshot](screenshot.png)

Mozilla provides prebuilt versions of Firefox for macOS, Windows and Linux. Unfortunately, the Linux version is just a tarball, so it does not create a menu entry or install itself in $PATH.

`tmfi` fixes this. It's a script which:

- Downloads the latest Firefox Linux archive

- Creates a symbolic link in `$HOME/.local/bin`

- Installs a menu entry in `$HOME/.local/share` (or in `$XDG_DATA_HOME` if it's defined)

## Usage

Clone this repository:

```

git clone https://github.com/agateau/tmfi

```

Run the script:

```

cd tmfi

./tmfi

```

Optionally, specify the language with `./tmfi --lang LANGUAGE_CODE` (Have a look at  for the list of supported languages).

## What about updating?

The Firefox binaries provided by Mozilla auto-update themselves, so there is no need to re-run the script later.
