Automatically install Firefox Developer Edition

Also called "Firefox Aurora" There is no official and automatic way to download, install and integrate Firefox Developer Edition on a Linux system. This is my try at it.

Prerequisites

• bash, tar and curl have to be installed
  • Fedora-based: sudo dnf install tar curl
  • Debian-based: sudo apt install tar curl
  • ...

Usage

curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/julius-boettger/install-firefox-dev-linux/master/install_firefox_dev.sh" | bash -s "en-US"

• "en-US" is the language in which Firefox will be installed, which has to be provided before starting the installation, as it cannot be changed later!
  • you can change this to your preferred language like "de-DE"

ToDo

• make script safer by checking for present installations etc
• improve README.md
• try wget instead of curl
• remove bash dependency by executing with default shell?
• also provide an uninstall script?
• rename installation folder to firefox-dev or firefox-aurora
• document how to make an alias to the binary
