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”?

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

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

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

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

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