        @totalsonic ok, I found the deb file. Unfortunately when I install with Libertine it creates the ESR container, but no icon shows up in tray. Any ideas?

          @totalrando - make sure you delete any Firefox install before installing Firefox-esr. I've unfortunately often experienced where Libertine containers get "borked" and do not allow additional packages to be installed in them, and the only reliable way around that I've found is deleting the Libertine container and starting over. Perhaps someone else can chime in with a solution other than just "nuking" the container and going back to scratch.

            @totalsonic Trying to nuke container now. Besides Abiword (which I won't be using till I figure out how to force convergence on this thing) I had nothing of value in it.

              @totalrando - going off-topic of this thread, but for "convergence" on the OnePlus One my experience is that you will want two things:

              • Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter hooked up to external display (I have used version 2 of this, you need a monitor with a full size HDMI & USB-A ports available)
              • a blue tooth keyboard w/ trackpad (the iClever BK-08 works fine for this and has the advantage that it can be folded up to fit in your pocket)

                @totalsonic Thank you. That sounds a lot better than the disaster I was planning.

                  @totalsonic No dice on FF yet. Going to verify I got the right one.

                        Hy guys, I'm on OPO (stable channel) and no version of Firefox is working (all crash on launch). Do you know where I can download 78.8 esr version? I can't find it (on launchpad.net there's no downloadable package and on debian packages there are newer versions).

                          @eltanque9 - ESR packages posted to Mozilla's page seem to have now been updated to version 91 - but this crashes tabs in my test of it. https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages

                          I will make my own download links for Firefox-esr 78 and will post them up when available.

                            @eltanque9 - oops, it seems I only have the ESR 78 deb saved for arm64. maybe someone else has that file.

                              @TotalSonic Thanks for your work and time, I really appreciate your contribute (I'm using your arm64 build on my OP3)

                                  So setting the environmet varrible allows FF to work with http only pages: export MOZ_FAKE_NO_SANDBOX=1

                                  This var needs to be set in the libertine container

                                  Alternatives can be found here but the https issue still persists

                                    @TotalSonic Can you please help to install Firefox-esr, as Firefox still not stable at least on M10.

                                      @Spymaker There is no need to install firefox via Libertine. It is easier to install it via a click package from: https://gitlab.com/debclick/uFirefox/-/jobs/3244836194/artifacts/download

                                      May the source be with you

                                        Just a thought but this is an old thread and most of the info out of date, might be easier for everyone to start a new one.

                                          Currently the upstream desktop version of Firefox is perfectly usable in Ubuntu Touch (at least in tablets), all that's missing is clipboard support and some extra gesture support.
