Firefox_Installer

This scrips takes the argument of a Firefox file and installs it in a user-friendly manner.

Specifically, the script:

• Checks file existance
• Moves it to a local assets/ folder
• Moves the existing installation to /opt/firefox.OLD for rollback if requried
• Unpacks the tar.bz file in /opt/firefox
• creates a symlink for the executable at /usr/local/bin/firefox
• checks for the existance of a .desktop file in the assets folder
• creats a symlink for the .desktop file at /usr/local/share/applications/firefox.desktop
• updates ownership of /opt/firefox to mike:mike so firefox has write permissions and can check for updates

Usage

sudo ./installer
