      @jasom It's easier not to use a deb file, but to install right from the repository.

      1. Open system settings
      2. Enter Libertine settings (the top hat)
      3. Press "+" in the upper right corner and follow the steps
      4. Wait for the container to be created (could take a while)
      5. Open the newly created container from Libertine settings
      6. Press the "+" in the top right corner, choose the top alternative (Enter package name)
      7. Write "firefox" and press install
      8. Wait while it finishes the install.

      You can also search for a package in the archives if you're not sure about the exact name of a package. Then you just pick another alternative in step 6. 🙂

        I just thought I'd chime in and say that there is a way to make the GUI slightly better for touch screen use.

        https://mspoweruser.com/how-to-set-up-firefox-quantums-interface-for-windows-tablets/

        Hopefully it helps; I have a Oneplus 3 on the way in the mail, and I have every intention of using Firefox when on UT.

            @mr-greeb Just to say you may be disappointed with the result. Firefox will run but the scale and size make it impracticle to use.

              I've been looking around a bit trying to suggest a mobile build for the emerging Linux phone segment; something multi-OS like PureMaps would be a real boon to the ecosystem.

                @boransur Odd statement to make in this thread. Pure Maps is in the OpenStore https://open-store.io/app/pure-maps.jonnius already, also a slim version https://open-store.io/app/pure-maps-slim.jonnius

                  @lakotaubp It's also a word for word copy of a question two years ago in this same thread.
