/usr/local/sbinI'm pretty sure it WILL NOT update itself - you can do "ff -> check for updates" and it might tell you, but I don't think it can actually update.Command firefox should launch it since it has precedence in $PATH but it doesn't, but launcher works and FF uses current user profile.
I also set Firefox ESR as the default browser so that it opens HTML links when it click on something.
Let's hope ESR knows how to update itself.
I put it in thinking that command will find it there first and simply ignore FF57 in . I suppose it will find it if I uninstall FF57.
I'll try to post again if it updates successfully.
