Hello, when trying to download the latest version of firefox using the script I got the HTTP 404 error, it happens with version 135.0b3.

I luckily was able to manually set the version 134.0b9 and get firefox beta to install on my PC.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

P.D: I'm using cli links!

Hi Santos
It's there, but it's not .bz2, it's .xz:

Hi Santos
A quick google search revealed Mozilla switched from bz2 to xz
compression last November.

Looking through their repo:
http://download.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/
I found the last bz2 was version 134.
The first xz was version 135.

This blog post says they started using XZ in November for Nightly builds, which the firefox_getLatest.sh script doesn't support anyway.

Yes, it looks like they've now applied XZ to FF 135 downloads. However the updates to FF ESR version 128 are still BZ2 downloads.

When I get a chance I'll work on adapting the script for using XZ compressed downloads with FF version 135 and later. 135 isn't due for stable release until the 4th of Feb.

@Santos: Why manually specify the Beta version of FF 134, 134.0b9, when 134.0 is released (and should be downloaded by default if you run firefox_getLatest.sh with '-a' or no arguments)

Great! I thought it was something serious and I'll be blocked from getting firefox.

Thank you for that!
Once the update comes, do I need to update using  tce  or should I download the tcz from the TC15 repo?

Because of the  .profile  directory, going from beta to stable is not supported and firefox 'formats' the directory removing everything. I'll test later on if I can just allow firefox to format the profile directory and see if I keep my bookmarks and sync sessions.

Thank you guys.
