Don't use the one from Deepin store, just uninstall it. It's outdated. Download firefox from their official website https://www.mozilla.org/

Follow the steps below:

Delete Firefox:

  1. sudo rm -Rf /opt/firefox*
  2. sudo rm -Rf /usr/bin/firefox
  3. sudo rm -Rf /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
Copy the Code


If your system is 32 bits:

  1. wget "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=linux" -O firefox.tar.bz2
Copy the Code



If your system is 64 bits:

  1. wget "https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-latest&os=linux64" -O firefox.tar.bz2
Copy the Code


Decompress:

  1. sudo tar -jxvf  firefox.tar.bz2 -C /opt/
Copy the Code


Rename the folder:

  1. sudo mv /opt/firefox*/ /opt/firefox
Copy the Code


Create a shortcut:

sudo ln -sf /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/bin/firefox

  1. echo -e '[Desktop Entry]\n Version=59.0.3\n Encoding=UTF-8\n Name=Mozilla Firefox\n Comment=Navegador Web\n Exec=/opt/firefox/firefox\n Icon=/opt/firefox/browser/chrome/icons/default/default128.png\n Type=Application\n Categories=Network' | sudo tee /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
Copy the Code

Copy all file to replace old files of firefox and you need root permission.
