14.04.5 LTS.
I need Firefox >=48 for my Travis build: https://travis-ci.org/umts/incidents/builds/240872628
So I sudo apt-get update
and sudo apt-get install firefox
, which says:
Unpacking firefox (53.0.3+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.2) ...
etc.
But then my automated tests were failing with the same exact message as when I had the built-in version of firefox (38.4.0esr). So as a sanity check, I added firefox -v
after the install, which returns:
(process:5877): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed
Mozilla Firefox 38.4.0
Perhaps that failed C assertion is meaningful here? But on the face of it, apt is installing one version of a package, but then using that package gives me a much older version, despite apt having returned no error messages.
How can I successfully install and use Firefox >=48 in this context?
