firefox-esr (default) is now version 60 and is a simple apt-get dist-upgrade

When you say it

didn’t work anymore !

can you be more specific.
What did you do?
Type firefox in a terminal, any messages?
What happens (exactly)?

Philosophers have interpreted the world in many ways; the point is to change it.

antiX with runit - leaner and meaner.

Perhaps you tried installing from a downloaded file from the website?

The correct way to upgrade/update software in antiX is to use the repositories. Running the apt-get routine as anticapitalista suggests will upgrade your Firefox program to the latest version in the repositories. If that version is not new enough for you please ask the developers for help in temporarily enabling a repository that may have a newer version. Then disable the non-standard repository after the install of Firefox is done.

Hi there ! Finally I found the way to update firefox ! It happened with the “sudo su” command (superuser is unknown in the FAQ,s !) and with superuser password !! Anyway, a good job done….

Thanks again to give the strength to find his way !!

I have Beta Cacerès in french (thanks to translators) but the word “dépôt” ( repo ) is unknown in the Menu……
