    How to Install Latest Firefox on Rocky Linux

    By RahulAugust 9, 20232 Mins Read

    Firefox, widely recognized for its speed, security, and emphasis on user privacy, is a browser of choice for many. This guide is designed to walk you through the process of downloading and installing the latest version of Firefox on Rocky Linux using a zip file.

    This guide will steer you through the nuances of deploying Firefox on your Rocky Linux system. We’ll focus on the Firefox pre-built version for Linux, which has the advantage of being pre-compiled, allowing you to simply unpack and use it right away.

    Step 1: Eliminate Pre-existing Firefox Versions

    Certain Linux distributions come with Firefox pre-loaded. For a seamless experience, it’s advised to remove any older installations of Firefox on your system. Execute the following command to get this done:

    sudo dnf remove firefox   
    

    If a Firefox binary is already present, consider unlinking or renaming. For example, for the binary located at /usr/bin/firefox:

    unlink /usr/bin/firefox 
    [or]
    mv /usr/bin/firefox /usr/bin/firefox_old  
    

    Step 2: Procure the Latest Firefox Version

    Visit the Firefox download portal. Ensure you choose the “Linux 64-bit” category under “Desktop”, then hit “Download Now” to retrieve the zip file.

    For those who favor terminal commands, this line will directly download the newest Firefox for you:

    cd ~/Downloads  
    wget -O firefox-latest.tar.bz2 "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=linux64&lang=en-US" 
    

    Once the download is done, activate a terminal and migrate to the directory containing the downloaded file. If it’s housed in the “Downloads” folder, input:

    tar xvjf firefox-latest.tar.bz2 -C /usr/local  
    

    This action unravels all files into the /usr/local/firefox compartment.

    Step 3: Installing Firefox on Rocky Linux

    The charm of Firefox lies in its pre-compilation; there’s no extra legwork to make it functional. Installation here is essentially configuring Firefox to harmonize with your system. Forge a soft link of the Firefox binary file to the system’s bin directory, making it universally available.

    sudo ln -s /usr/local/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox  
    

    To get Firefox up and running, execute the command below, or simply select Firefox from your GUI menu:

    firefox & 
    

    In Conclusion

    This guide has been crafted to elucidate the steps to download and nest the latest Firefox iteration on a Rocky Linux system. We’re hopeful that this knowledge aids in enhancing your browsing journey on Firefox.
