Firefox Developer Edition Download Zip
Kimbery Foxe
I've been at this for hours now. Nothing works, .desktop file below. I don't know why, but I can't drag&drop the open firefox-dev icon to my favorites, only when I look for it in Applications windows and drag it from there. But that way it just opens a new icon instead. Before this issue gets closed for a mildly similar question, below are all of the solutions I've tried.
This answer you linked to, Firefox developer edition icon duplication in Gnome shell, helped me solve this issue, here's my /usr/share/applications/firefox-developer-edition.desktop (the naming could be relevant, not sure):
Below you'll find links to the developer release notes for every Firefox release. These lovingly-crafted notes provide details on what features and APIs were added and improved and what bugs were eliminated in each version of Firefox. All written to give developers like you the information they need most. You're welcome.
Did you get Firefox from an apt repo? if not, it might not have the right permissions (or at least, right enough for us).
If that is the case, please locate your Firefox's installation folder (e.g. /.local/apps/firefox ) , then cd into it and run:
sudo chown -R root:root /.local/apps/firefox && sudo chmod 755 /.local/apps/firefox/firefox-bin
So I ran into this same problem on Linux (and was confused up until seeing this post since this works fine on Windows and Mac). I'm not entirely happy with this solution, since I don't want the superuser owning a directory in my own home directory. Is there a reason why 1password wants firefox to be in a specific directory and owned by root? Is there any way it can be configured to allow being owned by the person who owns the running process? I can see how this could be used as an attack vector (run some copy of firefox some other user installed and you can't trust it), but I don't see the harm in running a copy of firefox which I installed myself in my own directory and owned by my user.
Actually, I realized one issue with this fix/workaround - by making the directory owned by root, Firefox Developer Edition actually can't update itself unless I'm running it as root. So now I'm a little confused about what the change is trying to achieve here - before changing permissions, it always thinks Firefox has an update, but after changing permissions, it no longer thinks that, it just can't actually install the update. I guess this is less of an issue if you install Firefox from system repos or a PPA and can update via package manager, but I don't think Developer Edition is available from a PPA (though beta is: mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-next). At least at some point Developer Edition had slightly different developer tools than the regular Beta but I don't know if that's still the case...
I get a "Software is Preventing Firefox Developer Edition From Safely Connecting to This Site" (DigiCert Global Root CA) (MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_MITM_DETECTED) error and there is no way to add an exception.
It works again when I downgrade firefox but doing that I cannot use my normal firefox profile anymore, cause the "firefox version I am trying to use is too old, please create a new profile" which I don't want to do.
ecurity.enterprise_roots.enabled is not set to true. Did mozilla change anything with firefox with the last update so that would be necessary? As I said, the downgraded firefox version works as usual. I would try it but I am not exactly sure what the implications are exactly.
This is constant problem since firefox 70.0-1 update couple of days ago. Duckduckgo doesn't work at all, reddit works on and off, I have run into several other sites that don't work or work every n-th load... Please fix this guys.
I'm having the exact same problem.
"DigiCert Global Root CA" is tripping firefox. Several websites stop working. If I reconnect and restart firefox, it seems to work fine. But it will inevitably break again.
Update: couple of updates of firefox-developer-edition later it now happens on both regular firefox and in developer edition. What is the proper way to raise this to maintainers attention, it makes any flavor of firefox pretty impossible to use? Is it possible to be localized problem so maintainers don't see it?
