The real trick is to not install anything, because Firefox comes pre-installed on most Linux distros.

pre-installed

You don't use Arch, btw

You mean "pre-installed with most DEs"...

Well, I wanted to express that it may differ between distros, but fair point that Firefox won't be pre-installed on the server flavors of those distros.

I think it's just distros that choose if they pre-install Firefox, not DEs.

KDE on Arch didn't install Firefox, but Kubuntu came with Firefox the last time I installed it.

Eh, Debian still ships ESR

I miss the days when they shipped Iceweasel.

And ESR kinda sucks if you want an updated browser.
