Upgrade Firefox to Current Version
Using v.3.6.0 setup wizard and it downloads Firefox v.38. Need to upgrade Firefox to current v.43.0.4 for compatibility with website vendor. I've done a lot of reading and found some older posts but couldn't find anything specific to just the Firefox upgrade. Not looking to add any add-ons or other modules. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Upgrade Firefox to Current Version
Maybe you could cheat and update just the browser user agent? this option is available in the wizard:
Code: Select all
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Please add [Solved] to your thread title if the solution was found.

What is the process to execute the command from the GUI wizard? Thank you.

Re: Upgrade Firefox to Current Version
I was referring to this parameter:

You can set custom user agent through the wizard. No need to run any cli command.

Nope, didn't work. Still receive popup stating Browser is not supported. Dang.
