Install the Firefox Developer browser in a Fedora machine
This is how I installed the Mozilla Firefox Developer Edition in my Fedora Linux 40 (Workstation Edition) machine.
Download the Mozilla Firefox Developer Edition’s latest binary, then extract it. Rename the extracted folder if you want to.
# extract
tar -xvjf firefox-131.0b8.tar.bz2
# rename
mv firefox firefox-dev
Move the extracted folder to /opt
directory. It will require sudo
access
level.
sudo mv firefox-dev /opt/
Create a firefox-dev.desktop
file at ~/.local/share/applications/
.
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Firefox Developer
GenericName=Firefox Developer Edition
Exec=/opt/firefox-dev/firefox %u
Terminal=false
Icon=/opt/firefox-dev/browser/chrome/icons/default/default128.png
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;X-Developer;
Comment=Firefox Developer Edition Web Browser.
StartupWMClass=firefox-aurora
Finally, reboot your machine.
reboot
