Running Kali Linux Nethunter 3.4 ARMHF kernel on my Oneplus One phone. I do not have any browser installed. Trying to install from the terminal. Get error message broken package (see below). Can this be corrected by me, or Is there a stable ARMHF firefox version for Kali Linux Nethunter available. Thanks TC. PS: Tried installing Iceweasel but get same error, depends on firefox-esr.

I would advise against using Kali for personal use, you have broken packages on your system, which means you cannot install anything new, until you fix those broken packages.

This is the OP. Couldn't fix firefox libhunspell-1.3.0, libjsoncpp0 broken packages. Ended up getting Firefox-Esr v52 from Debian jessie. DiD. 1. Added deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ 2. $ apt-get update 3. $ apt-get install firefox-esr
