# Install tarball version of Firefox with just a basic script!

A script to easily install Firefox the tarball way on your Linux machine!

Learn how I scriptified it @ [my relevant Medium article](https://medium.com/@spookyorange/scriptifying-stuff-installation-for-tarball-of-mozilla-firefox-on-linux-4c10cd352265)

If you are using Steam Deck, this script will install it on your system in like 15 seconds(so you don't have to wait 15 minutes for the repos to load)

Note: This installation script is by no means affiliated with Mozilla Firefox project, or its maintainers.

## Usage

Clone the repo and run the script

```bash

git clone https://github.com/spookyorange/firefox-linux-install.git

cd firefox-linux-install

sh ./install.sh

```

To remove the application(if it has been installed with this method)

```bash

sh ./uninstall.sh

```

Updates are handled by running the install script again, you can just run the install script and all good!

```bash

sh ./install.sh

```

## Details

The script will install the application in the following destinations if you have installed locally:

- ~/.tarball-installations/firefox

- ~/.local/bin/firefox

- ~/.local/share/applications/firefox.desktop

## Tested Distros

- Fedora by Spookyorange
