In the past, I've done as FOSSuser said...

1. Go to the official Mozilla website, and download the current version.
2. When the download is completed, use your archiver to open it into a directory that you prefer.

I put mine in my Templates folder when I did this, but some people put it in the opt folder. I had tried that before, but I found that Firefox wouldn't automatically update itself...not sure why.

3. After your archiver has finished opening it, you can go to that folder and click the executable to open Firefox (just look for the file that has firefox written under it).
4. Make sure that you go into Firefox's Preferences and have it set to for automatic updates (unless you desire to update it yourself).

There is a way to make a symlink so that your system recognizes it as your browser, but I never bothered with it, so I can't tell you how to do it unfortunately. However, I did make an application launcher icon for it so that I could open it from my menu instead of having to go into my Templates folder everytime.

You can either put this in /usr/share/applications ...or... ~/.local/share/applications

1. Go to the one you want to create the launcher in, right-click an empty space in that folder, and create a new empty file.
2. Name it whatever you want, but it has to end in --> .desktop (such as --> myfirefox.desktop )
3. Then copy and paste this into the newly created file...MAKE SURE TO PUT THE CORRECT FILE PATH TO THE EXECUTABLE THAT YOU USED AND PUT THE NAME CORRECTLY IN THE Exec=

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Firefox
Exec=/home/YOUR-NAME/Templates/firefox/firefox
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network;
Icon=firefox

4. Save and close the file.
5. It should then show up in your menu.

Maybe I should have started a Confessional thread? LOLOLOL!!!

Thank you ma'am. I had already looked there and have those sources that are given. Unless I've overlooked it, the...

ascii-proposed-updates

...source isn't given there. That's the only reason I was asking...in case there's a source (or sources) that I'm missing.

For anyone interested, I'll make a "How to Miyo Devuan LXQt" soon. Believe it or not, it's a little more involved than Plasma.

As we say here in the US, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Take care!

Glad to help if I can. Good luck! Hey, if you're wanting to run War Thunder, have you considered trying PlayOnLinux? It's in the repos. I've never used it myself, but many people say that PlayOnLinux works wonders for them.

I also tried Steam some time back to see how it would do in Miyo. Maybe I was lucky, but I just installed it through Synaptic, and it worked out of the box. I do remember trying War Thunder on Steam, but I guess my graphics couldn't handle it. I tried a few other games, and they worked great. War Thunder was free on Steam back when I tried it.

I can't answer as to why sddm has problems on Devuan. The hiccups are as you pointed out though...there are no shutdown or reboot options in sddm on Devuan. Sddm does work as far as logging in to the desktop though. With this latest build, I was pleasantly surprised, because the last time I tried using Plasma on Devuan, none of the shutdown/reboot etc. utilities worked from the desktop menu either. Now they do.

I also built a minimal Devuan Ascii LXQt. It works great; however, only the Logout option works from the menu. Shutdown, reboot, etc. don't. I tried the execute command for LXQt's shutdown in the terminal, and it threw up an error about needing something from systemd.  So, I installed obsession and qshutdown to try them both. Funny thing is, obsession will shutdown/reboot, but its logout feature doesn't work. Qshutdown only handles shutdown, reboot, and one other service that I can't remember at the moment. You can also set those options to happen later at a specific time if desired. So, after testing them both, I use the native logout option from the menu to logout. I changed all of the others to "NoDisplay=true" except the "Leave" option, and changed it's Exec= to qshutdown.

How was that for a bunch of information that wasn't needed? LOL!

I don't know what I did here, but after clicking on the picture, I was taken to a "Roblox" site at some point. I'm not sure how it happened though.

In addition to my response above...

I'm currently running KDE-Plasma on Devuan Ascii. The instructions vary slightly for Ascii at this point. Whether it changes in the future when Ascii becomes Stable...I'm not sure.

In Synaptic...

1. Install wine32-preloader:i386 (don't install the development version; it will break)...this will also install "wine".
2. Install winetricks

Then, to install a Wine program, use the custom command --> wine32

Here's a quick rundown of what I do to install 32 bit Wine...

First, make sure that you have 32 bit architecture enabled on the 64 bit...

Open your terminal, and enter the following commands one at a time.

dpkg --add-architecture i386

Followed by...

apt-get update

Then, open Synaptic, and "mark" the packages for installation in the order given in the link below...

https://sourceforge.net/p/miyolinux/wiki/Wine%20/

To install a program with Wine, use the "Custom Command" --> wine

Without more information, I will assume a few things based on my personal experience.

1. What is the Firefox-ESR version that you have?
2. Are you on a 32 bit version of Devuan?

The only time that I've had trouble was on a 32 bit version, and the Firefox-ESR version was 52.2.0. That version would work perfect on my 64 bit install, but it wouldn't work on the 32 bit install for some reason. Once Devuan upgraded the release to 52.3.0 (I think that's what it is now), the 32 bit would once again work.

If you aren't using Firefox-ESR 52.2.0, have you placed a checkmark in Firefox-ESR's "Preferences" to play DRM content?
