Is Firefox compatible with the Raspbian operating system?

I got a new Raspberry Pi 3 Model B running Raspbian and I want to install Firefox on it.

Only problem is that I don't know if it's compatible with this specific OS. Does anyone know about it's compatibility with this OS because I don't really want Chromium.

Thanks, CoolPlaysGaming.

Not the current Release version which is Firefox 58 - since Firefox 55 there has been a problem. But this says the ESR 52 version (Extended Support Release) should work.

OK. I'll try it.

Edit: (if there is one) Could someone give me a libk to a reliable, virus-free download?

Try this - right from Mozilla: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/

It didn't work with either 64 or 32-bit. (I extracted the files, then ran firefox.exe. Both normally, and in the terminal.)

Raspbian is a debian clone, you can't run .exe files on linux. You'd have to install ESR for Linux

You can download the ESR version from here (should you want to) :

You will need a (third-party) Firefox version that runs on ARM.
