A few days ago I installed firefox developer edition by this method (downloading and unzipping the .bz2 file). That install worked well.

After some time Firefox notified me to update, so I deleted /opt/firefox and reinstalled it using ubuntu-make (umake). While doing so, I accidentally installed firefox by running sudo apt update firefox, so I ran sudo apt remove firefox to delete it.

When the umake install didn't work well, I removed ~/.local/share/umake/ and reinstalled it the first way. But it still isn't working as well as before the update. What should I do?

I'm using WSL.

What isn't working:

Try sudo apt-get purge firefox then reinstall by your initial method.

When following a guide to install a thing, it's worth considering it's instructions for the update process (step 7).

  • I tried, but it still doesn't work. Is there any other way? – in_queue Sep 30 '23 at 10:25
  • when you removed the umake install you write that you removed ~/.local/share/umake/, but I'm struggling to relate that to the guide in source 2. Did you run umake web firefox-dev -r, or did you perhaps run sudo rm -r /opt/firefox_dev/ (adjusted to your address use)? – UNREDACTED Sep 30 '23 at 11:34
  • when i installed by umake, i'd already removed /opt/firefox. and when removed umake install, I ran both sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/umake/ and umake -r seb firefox-dev because result of whereis firefox-dev was /.local/share/umake/web/firefox-dev/firefox. – in_queue Oct 02 '23 at 08:25
