    Default Firefox 29 on Linux

    For anyone using Linux Mint or Ubuntu, here is a method to install Firefox 29. Before trying I would recommend checking your update manager as it may be available when you do your updates.

    I've installed the 64 bit version on Linux Mint 14 x64.


    First is x64.

    wget ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or...x-29.0.tar.bz2
    $ tar -xjvf firefox-29.0.tar.bz2
    $ sudo rm -r /opt/firefox*
    $ sudo mv firefox /opt/firefox29
    $ sudo rm /usr/bin/firefox
    $ sudo ln -s /opt/firefox29/firefox /usr/bin/firefox


    x86

    wget ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or...x-29.0.tar.bz2
    $ tar -xjvf firefox-29.0.tar.bz2
    $ sudo rm -r /opt/firefox*
    $ sudo mv firefox /opt/firefox29
    $ sudo rm /usr/bin/firefox
    $ sudo ln -s /opt/firefox29/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
