Takes 7 steps to install Firefox this way as opposed to apt-get install.

[hnarn]

This comment doesn’t make any sense. Installing a deb file is done with apt, what are you actually referring to when you say “apt-get install”?

[dsr_]

apt, apt-get, aptitude and synaptic are all front ends to the same package management system.

[hnarn]

I’m well aware of that. How is that in any way relevant to the question I was asking?

[Timber-6539]

apt-get install will automatically download and install the deb for you.

[hnarn]

Are you insinuating that this would not happen with the instructions from Firefox?

[Timber-6539]

Not unless you create an automated script for the instructions. Am strictly picking on the guide.

[Gabrys1]

1. Add the apt repo

2. Add the repo's public key

3. apt-get update

4. apt-get install firefox

What 3 steps am I missing?

[hnarn]

Counting “steps” is inane to begin with. Those could all be done with a one-liner, does that make it one step?

[Timber-6539]

You could do this with a one-liner I suppose, but the Firefox guide still gives you 7 steps to accomplish something apt will do with a single command.

[hnarn]

You are either trolling or you have a very fundamental lack of understanding for what those seven steps actually do and how package management works.

[Timber-6539]

Am simply saying the alternative to doing this is a "one-click" apt-get install. Not sure why you have your panties in a twist.

[whalesalad]

but you are on an older version of ffx

[Timber-6539]

*temporarily delayed version. This is a complicated nuance depending on the release cadence of your distro.
