I use this script to update Firefox.
It downloads the latest Firefox version, builds a package, then I use upgradepkg <package_full_path_file_name> and it is done!
Save the script bellow as latest-firefox.sh
Before run the script, change the line FFLANG=${FFLANG:- en-US} to your language and it will download the proper non english firefox version.
Eg: FLANG=${FFLANG:- sv-SE} (for Sweden language)
Quote:
#!/bin/bash
# This script will find the latest Firefox binary package, download it
# and repackage it into Slackware format.
# I don't use Firefox for regular browsing but it is handy for
# comparative tests against Opera. :P
