Chapter 19. Install firefox

Remove Snap
The Snap version has the most irritating upgrade reminders in the world. We should have already killed snap, so get Firefox from a special deb package, from flatpak, or by compiling.

To install Firefox from a deb package, see firefox instructions

From flatpak

Before running firefox for the first time,
