Can't uncompress download of Firefox 135.0
Hello, We use the following code (in a Dockerfile) to download the latest Firefox for testing.
curl -fsSL -o /tmp/firefox.tar.bz2 "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=linux64&lang=en-US" && tar -C /tmp -xjf /tmp/firefox.tar.bz2 firefox
Starting with 135.0 the tar command fails with:
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file. tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
134.0.2 works: curl -fsSL -o /tmp/firefox.tar.bz2 "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-134.0.2....
A couple questions: - What has changed? Is there some other way we need to download and uncompress? - Is there any documentation of the supported query params for https://download.mozilla.org
Thanks, Paul

Linux binaries are now provided in XZ format, replacing the previous BZ2 format, offering faster unpacking and smaller file sizes.
Thanks TyDraniu. That worked, once I installed the xz package.
Is there any doc for the https://download.mozilla.org query params? With list of files that can be downloaded? Is that URL supported? Or is there another preferred URL?
Actually there's a very short doc for the download.mozilla.org query parameters: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/latest/README.txt
For myself, I had to personally learn them all thru trial and error. Thankfully they're fairly easy to figure out. The above README file is missing a few of the product & OS parameters.
For a list of what file types exist, you can have a look here: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/135.0/linux-x86_64/en-US/ https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/135.0/
That area technically shows all the types of builds that can be downloaded. But I don't think you can specify using a parameter on a download.mozilla.org url whether to grab a .xz or .deb package, for example. Neither for Mac to get a .dmg or .pkg. But for the Windows parameter, there should be a way to determine getting a .exe or .msi.
MSI builds for Regular release & ESR: https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-msi-latest-ssl&os=win64&lang=en-US https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-esr-msi-latest-ssl&os=win&lang=en-US https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-esr-msi-latest-ssl&os=win64&lang=en-US
And for Windows ARM64/AArch64: https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest-ssl&os=win64-aarch64&lang=en-US
For Linux Nightly builds, there is a Linux ARM64/AArch64 option: https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-nightly-latest-ssl&os=linux64-aarch64&lang=en-US
I was able to view & customize the extra product & OS choices on: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
