Hi! Friend

you can add debian unstable source to /etc/apt/apt.source.list,
eg:
  1. deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main
Copy the Code

after:

  1. sudo apt remove firefox* --purge  
  2. sudo apt update
  3. sudo apt install firefox
Copy the Code


Done. Enjoy it!
Good Lucky!

you can download the newest firefox on the firefox officalwebsit.
and you'd better create a firefox's shortcut to the starter ( you can find the way on the wiki )

if you do this , in the system there are 2 firefox. but never mind . you can use your firefox,and its can update by itself
