Firefox installer: a script to install Firefox on Debian.

New_Firefox_Logo

Good afternoon, everyone.

These last few days I have been working on a script for facilitate (or automate) the installation of Firefox on Debian. I personally prefer to use Firefox than any other, and, as many know, it is not in the repositories of Debian, and, personally, I find it a bit ... tiring manual installation. Therefore I decided to create this script, to save some time and make the installation a little more comfortable. At the moment the script is in Spanish and English, and can install 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Firefox, in Spanish, English, French, Italian and German (although I hope to support more languages ​​in the future).

I'm not going to explain the process, because I find it a bit unnecessary (you can see how the script is made without any problem). Whoever wants to modify the script can do so (if you find errors or add improvements, I would appreciate it if you send them to me  ) since it is published under Public Domain.

To those who want to try it, I recommend my following questions:

Does auto-detection of language and architecture work? (On my PC 64 in Spanish it worked)

Does it create a launcher in the menu? (in Mate y Cinnamon has worked correctly)

I hope it is useful to you. Any questions, complaints or suggestions can be left in the comments, or send it to my email.
