#170707 — IceWeasel (Firefox) Update?

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

This may not even be possible, but how can I update the IceWeasel (Firefox)
from 45 (old) to the current 47? I need it on 47 to be able to use a
platform I use instead of skype :)

What version of Debian are you using?  In jessie, I did:

# aptitude install firefox

and kept my system fully updated, and I have 47.0.1.

what you have and is available in Jessie is firefox-esr (Extended
Support Release). Version 45 is up to date.

Up to date version of firefox is 47, though, and probably the best way
to obtain it is the Debian way, which is explained here:
 http://mozilla.debian.net/

(be careful to select the Release version, not one of the Esr, Beta or
Aurora ones.)

I don't believe Iceweasel gets updated to Firefox 47; many us go here

http://mozilla.debian.net/

where you can obtain (follow the instructions) the backported release
version of Firefox (which will give you 47.0.1 in Wheezy or Jessie, one
of which I assume you're running).

What repo and/or mirror are you using? I can only get v45.3 even from
backports. My bank is bitching at me to udate my browser. I can d/l from
the mozilla site but I would rather get a binary from a repo.

Yes, I'm sorry.  I was misremembering.  I have this in my sources.list:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ jessie-backports firefox-release

So I must originally have done:
# aptitude install -t jessie-backports firefox

I omitted the -t jessie-backports from my original line.

But I now just do aptitude update, aptitude upgrade, and it gets upgraded 
along with everything else!!

I have added:

debhttp://mozilla.debian.net/  jessie-backports firefox-release

to my sources.list and installed firefox.  Well and good.  I have 
version 47.0.1.  I assume that we will catch up with Mozilla and get 
48.0 soon.

My actual question, though, is this:  Has anything been said about when, 
or if, the Mozilla team will be doing the same for Thunderbird?  I have 
my box set up to very easily update both Firefox and Thunderbird direct 
from the Mozilla site.  One click on a bookmark and running one script 
for each of them.  If I still have to get Thunderbird manually then it 
is really not that much more effort to upgrade Firefox directly, as well.

That's what I have. That only gets me to v47.0.1. The only way I can get
to v48 is to dl from th mozilla site. Not what I wanted, but..........
