The Latest version of Firefox fails to install due to missing libpango depdenencies that are not being resolved by apt. In order to install the latest version of Firefox in CircleCI you will need to add the following to your circle.yml file: dependencies: override: - sudo apt-get update…

To add, if you are just using firefox for testing like I am, something like this may work if you don’t need to install it: dependencies: pre: # get Firefox Release (43.0b5) - mkdir ../ff-release - wget -O ff-release.tar.bz2 'https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/43.0b5/linu…

Is there a way to get this cached? This works, but it takes quite a bit of time on each build.

Right now we do not cache apt packages. The best way to cache this would be to download the .deb somewhere into your home folder (which can be cached) and then install it with sudo dpkg -i $PACKAGE_NAME.deb.

It’s not just the single deb, it pulls in some 15 dependencies.

Makes sense, you would need to pull those in as well. Without proper support for apt caching this is the only way for now.

Any chances of just having Firefox upgraded to 45?

Yes this seems like the best solution. :slight_smile: @kimh can we do this on Trusty?

@retorquere so FF 45 and Chrome 48 works for you? I can update theses on Trusty image .

I think that would be awesome, this would knock out this one as well Update Chrome in container image

Installing FF this way adds a full minute to my build process… not a big thing, but it’s a waste of Circle’s resources.
