Mozilla Firefox Cookbook
This cookbook installs Firefox browser. Mac OS X, Ubuntu, 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. CentOS, Red Hat and Debian platforms default to using the package manager.
A firefox_version
method is also available to retrieve the default version installed.

Chef 12.6+
Platforms
- CentOS/Red Hat
- Debian/Ubuntu
- Mac OS X

Cookbooks

Usage
Include default recipe in a cookbook or a run list to install Firefox browser.

allow_any_instance_of(Chef::Recipe).to receive(:firefox_version).and_return('42.0')
