Firefox repositories

Good Day to All! Haven`t seen for a while...
I have a problem with Firefox repositories. Can not download index files.

How to apply new repository address and what is the address?

Re: Firefox repositories

'mozilla.debian.net' repositories don't exist anymore, it has been replaced by regular Debian repositories and stock Firefox ESR, so it could be safely removed from the system. 'mozilla.debian.net' repository should be automatically removed by the latest Q4OS update. If not so, you need to uninstall Firefox using uninstaller from software centre, perform system update and install Firefox ESR from software centre again.

EDIT:
You may also need to remove all FF packages installed prior to installing the new version:
$ sudo apt-get remove firefox*

Re: Firefox repositories

I had the same problem. I followed the steps # 2 but it is not updated to the last version, I figure 52.2.0 when the last version is 52.2.1( at least in another PC with windows), have I done something wrong?

Re: Firefox repositories

In Windows you should be using Firefox 54 unless you preferred using ESR for some reason. 52.2.1 is indeed the latest version of Firefox ESR released June 29 but it may not have been offered in the repos right away.
