firefox Cookbook
This cookbook provides a resource (firefox_install) for installing firefox via package manager or downloading the binary directory from Mozilla. The resource allows specifying the version, language, and the desired action (install vs. upgrade) to perform during the install. The cookbook also ships with a default recipe that utilizes the resource in order to provide backwards compatibility with the previous cookbook releases.
Maintainers
This cookbook is maintained by the Sous Chefs. The Sous Chefs are a community of Chef cookbook maintainers working together to maintain important cookbooks. If you’d like to know more please visit sous-chefs.org or come chat with us on the Chef Community Slack in #sous-chefs.

method
6.0.0 (2019-02-01)
- Added a new firefox_install custom resource and updated the recipe to just use the resource instead
- Moved the previous libraries directly into the custom resource. If you were using these in a different resource or recipe they will no longer be available and you'll need to pull them into your own cookbook
- Changed the behavior on Windows to automatically install the 64bit Firefox when on 64bit hosts
5.0.0 (2019-01-20)
- Require Chef 14+ and remove dmg dependency - @tas50
4.0.0 (2017-03-20)
- Changed the default behavior of the cookbook on Linux platforms to not install firefox during the compile phase and to use an install action not an upgrade action. The fixes race conditions between the apt_update and the installation. If you would still like to upgraade firefox by default there is an attribute to control the install action now.
- Fixed failing Chefspecs
- Added appveyer testing for Windows installation
- Fixed compile time failures if firefox is not on the system at all
- Set the minimum chef release to 12.6 so we'll have windows_package resources built in

3.0.0 (2016-09-02)
- Replace apt cookbook with apt_update in test
- Add windows boxes for testing in test kitchen
- Require Chef 12 or later
- Use Chef's built in package instead of windows_package from the windows cookbook
- Fix downloading since Mozilla changed how latest works
2.0.7
- Transfer ownership to Chef
- Add maintainers.md and testing.md docs
- Add Rakefile for simplified testing
2.0.6
- Require dmg and windows in the metadata instead of suggesting. The suggests property in metadata is not actually used in depsolving and should be avoided.
