Mozilla Firefox Cookbook
This cookbook installs Firefox browser. Mac OS X and Windows download directly from
Mozilla where you can specify
version (e.g., latest
, latest-esr
, latest-beta
, 42.0
, 38.4.0esr
, or 43.0b4
) and language with
latest-esr
and en-US
being the defaults. Linux platforms default to use the package manager.
Linux can install directly from Mozilla by setting use_package_manager
to false
, but this is experimental and
only Ubuntu platform works at this time.
A firefox_version
method is also available to retrieve the default version installed.
