Mozilla 68.0 would not run on my Linux Mint 13 (yes, I know it is out of support but I run all apps in firejails and behind iptables). I believe it is from an older gtk release. Firefox goes into a constant loop of crash reporter, this even when disabling crash reporter by editing the application.ini file. How can I determine what libraries Firefox needs? Can I obtain the correct libraries, copy them to the same folder as Firefox, and still run it in a firejail?

After I type the terminal command /opt/firefox/firefox, I get Syntax error: "(" unexpected

In reply to Ravi Saive. ssh -X # or:

vagrant ssh
  where in Vagrantfile:
    config.ssh.forward_agent=true
    config.ssh.forward_x11=true;

yum install gtk3
yum install xorg-x11-xauth
yum install dejavu-lgc-sans-fonts
# log out/in (exit/ssh)
echo $DISPLAY   # will print: localhost:10.0

We need firefox v58+ (at this time v52 from repo is not enough)

su
cd /opt
wget https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/60.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-60.0.tar.bz2
tar xfj firefox-60.0.tar.bz2
ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox
exit  # -> normal user
firefox
