I am expecting updates fairly soon. Keep in mind most distributions don't immediately update the latest Firefox. When updates are ready you will see notification of such and can update in control panel.

I advice you to add the testing repo from debian to have newer packages, because the official Deepin repo are simply not much updated:
echo deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free >> /etc/apt/sources.list
And then install Iceweasel apt-get install iceweasel.
This is the debian rebranded version of firefox, that is exactly like firefox (without the branded logo and with some little patches). Bonus:there are some area on the web that required Flash with the Deepin Firefox and not with Iceweasel.

Install iceweasel instead. Firefox 43 on Deepin is problematic, don't know the reason why, but iceweasel works pretty well.

Hello diogocpr,

In another post I exposed that don't know how to dock the firefox launcher of a version downloaded from mozilla web.
If you don't mind open it directly from a downloaded folder, thats the clean and easy way of mantain the last and safest version of firefox.

{:4_129:}
Till we learn how to add a launcher of it to dock bar, then will be perfect

Or download iceweasel last version,(now 44.0.2) .deb and the .deb of your language translation, With this second option, you can dock it to bar, but no update from web browser directly.
