Snap Firefox vs Official Firefox from their site
[Shameless plug] or you install this .deb and it installs the latest firefox automatically

Automatically install latest firefox on debian (with autoupdates enabled)
I think you completely misunderstood the purpose of this program. This programs downloads firefox for you, automatically. You don't need to go to the mozilla website, the linked program will do this for you, automatically. You won't need to download firefox-97.0.1.tar.bz2 from the firefox website, the linked program will do this for you. That's this program's purpose. The .deb mentioned in the github page is on the github releases page, here: https://github.com/degaart/firefox-user-installer/releases

Whatbis your opinion on Linux that will make your comment look like this (taken from another sub)
You by no means have to use the snap. I use a shellscript: https://github.com/charmparticle/ffupdate

I prefer to just use ffupdate and tbupdate. Firefox releases binary compatible browsers for linux, why not take advantage of it?

What tools / utilities have you written that you use regularly?
ffupdate is a script which will update firefox, either vanilla, beta, nightly, or devedition. I made this because debian does not provide the latest firefox, and downloading and installing firefox by hand, while better than compiling from source, is tedious. This script automates the whole process of installing and updating firefox, and it can also install and update thunderbird. I have since learned that lots of other people wrote scripts to accomplish the same thing, so my scripts get lost in the shuffle in github.
