This cookbook provides a resource (firefox_install) for installing firefox via package manager or downloading the binary directory from Mozilla. The resource allows specifying the version, language, and the desired action (install vs. upgrade) to perform during the install. The cookbook also ships with a default recipe that utilizes the resource in order to provide backwards compatibility with the previous cookbook releases.
This cookbook is maintained by the Sous Chefs. The Sous Chefs are a community of Chef cookbook maintainers working together to maintain important cookbooks. If you’d like to know more please visit sous-chefs.org or come chat with us on the Chef Community Slack in #sous-chefs.
