How to install Firefox 59 Quantum on a Linux

To install Firefox 59 Quantum on a Linux system, you can use the following steps:

1. Download Firefox:

wget https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/59.0.2/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-59.0.2.tar.bz2

This will download the Firefox installer tarball from the Mozilla server.

2. Extract the tarball:

tar -xjvf firefox-59.0.2.tar.bz2

This will extract the contents of the tarball into a directory with the same name as the tarball, without the .tar.bz2 extension.

3. Create a symbolic link to the Firefox binary:

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

Replace /path/to/firefox/ with the path to the extracted Firefox directory. This will create a symbolic link to the Firefox binary in /usr/local/bin/, which is in the system's PATH, allowing you to run Firefox from any directory.

4. Run Firefox:

firefox

This will start Firefox, and you can use it to browse the web.
