I have been wondering why Debian does not have FireFox in the Debian environment. later I realized that Debian re-compiled FireFox for trademark reasons and renamed it Iceweasel. In this case, Iceweasel is FireFox, and Iceweasel can be used for extension of the same FF plug-in. To install Iceweasel, run the following command (For more information): ap
I have been wondering why Debian does not have FireFox in the Debian environment. later I realized that Debian re-compiled FireFox for trademark reasons and renamed itIceweasel. In this case, Iceweasel is FireFox, and Iceweasel can be used for extension of the same FF plug-in.
To install Iceweasel, run the following command (For more information ):
Aptitude install iceweasel

In some environments, the User AgentString of the Iceweasel browser may not contain FireFox, which requires the attention of Web developers.
What if we want to install the native FireFox? In addition to downloading manual installation on the Mozilla website, I will introduce an apt-get automatic installation method:
First, log on to the Ubuntuzilla project homepage. this project packages the latest Mozilla Foundation FireFox, SeaMonkey, and Repository of ThunderBird, we may think that Ubuntu is only prepared for the derivative system of Ubuntu. Otherwise, we can apply it to the Debian system and other Debian-based derivative systems. Below are several steps to apply this APT source:
1. add APT source address
Add the following source address to/etc/apt/sources. list:
Deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main
|
In addition to using the editor, you can also use the following commands to easily complete the process:
Echo-e "\ ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" | sudo tee-a/etc/apt/sources. list>/dev/null
|
2. import the Key
Sudo apt-key adv -- recv-keys -- keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com C1289A29
|
3. update APT Source list
4. install software
Run the following commands to install FireFox, SeaMonkey, and ThunderBird respectively:
# Install FireFox Sudo apt-get install firefox-mozilla-build # Installing ThunderBird Sudo apt-get install thunderbird-mozilla-build # Install SeaMonkey Sudo apt-get install seamonkey-mozilla-build
|
Now, the installation is basically complete. for FireFox, I want to explain that the newly installed FireFox is in English (how to change it to Chinese will be introduced soon ). Access to Flash effect or Youku (Youku.com) or Tudou (Tudou.com) will cause Flash to fail to be displayed. the prompt Additionalplugins are required to display all the media on thispage is displayed. (You need other plug-ins to display all media on this page .) Message, click the Install MissingPlugins button:
However, the message "No suitable plugins were found" is displayed (No suitable plug-in is found:
It seems that the AdobeFlash Playback plug-in cannot be installed in this way, so there is only a different path. for the Debian system, the Flash plug-in can also be obtained through the APT source. use the following apt-get command to install the missing Flash plug-in:
Sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
|
Restart FireFox. how can I view the Flash content normally?
Now I will introduce how to install the Chinese language pack. if you are comfortable with English, ignore the following content.
First, install the Chinese language pack. for FireFox users, visit here and for ThunderBird users.
For FF users:
1. click the zh-CN.xpi (simplified Chinese) to install the extended language pack.
2.After completing Step 1, Address bar inputAbout: configAnd press enter to confirm, if the following content appears:
ClickI'll be careful, Ipromise.Find the general. useragent. locale optionEn-USRight-click and select Modify.
Then changeZh-CN(Case sensitive ).
Restart your FireFox after completing the above steps. how does it become a Chinese version?
Okay, now FF is installed. of course, ThunderBird is the same. I will not elaborate on it here, enjoy it!
