Firefox – DEB or TAR: What's the difference?
Asked by
Jens
Hi team,
I want to get a current version of Firefox, but as I'm still running Trusty (KDE) the latest version available is v66.
Now I thought maybe I could use the latest (stable) tarball from Mozilla (v72), but all over the web is demanded to strictly use the distro's package. My next thought was to use the latest Debian (Jessie) version (v68 ESR).
So my question now:
Can I safely install/use the latest Mozilla tarball or should I better use this Debian package?
And what is the difference between those two installations?
Greetings,
Jens
