Mozilla creates Firefox ppa and .deb package

[OSnews]

Great news for Linux users, after months of testing, Mozilla released today a new package for Firefox on Linux (specifically on Ubuntu, Debian, and any Debian-based distribution). If you've heard about Linux, which is known for its open-source software and an alternative to traditional operating systems (OS), and are curious to learn more, here are four reasons why you should give our new Firefox on Linux package a try.

It';s a ppa and .deb package straight from Mozilla itself, so you don';t have to to rely on your distribution';s maintainers (as long as you use a Debian-based distribution, that is). Do note, however, that some distributions actually make changes to the default Firefox code, such as Fedora enabling things like Wayland-by-default and hardware-accelerated video decoding long before those became default in Firefox-proper. By using Mozilla';s package, you';ll lose all of these changes.

As a sidenote, Mozilla';s instructions for enabling the ppa and installing the .deb are a bit... Dubious, though.
