 +===== Waterfox on Linux (Install/Settings) =====
  
 +==== Waterfox Installation from Repository (Debian, Fedora, CentOS) ====
 +Although there are no official Debian repositories for Waterfox, it can be installed from a repsoitory with APT.
 +
 +Repository: [[https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hawkeye116477:/waterfox:/build-depends/|opensuse.org]]
 +
 +Therefore use this commands:
 +<code bash>
 +sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
 +</code>
 +<code bash>
 +sudo apt install software-properties-common apt-transport-https curl -y
 +</code>
 +**Quick install:**
 +
 +Just run the following command to get the repository key and install it:
 +<code bash>curl -fsSL https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox/xUbuntu_24.04/Release.key | sudo gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_hawkeye116477_waterfox.gpg > /dev/null</code>
 +Then add the repository to the sources lists:
 +<code bash>echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hawkeye116477:/waterfox/xUbuntu_24.04/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox.list</code>
 +
 +-----
 +**Longer, bit outdated way:**
 +<code bash>
 +wget https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox/Debian_11/Release.key 
 +</code>
 +//Replace ''Debian_11'' with your distribution, e.g. ''Debian_12''. Therefore have a look at [[https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox/|download.opensuse.org/repositories]]//
 +<code bash>
 +gpg --dearmor Release.key && cat Release.key.gpg | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/home_hawkeye116477_waterfox.gpg > /dev/null 
 +</code>
 +<code bash>
 +rm Release.key*
 +</code>
 +<code bash>
 +echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hawkeye116477:/waterfox/Debian_11/ /' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/home:hawkeye116477:waterfox.list
 +</code>
 +<code bash>
 +sudo apt update 
 +</code>
 +<code bash>
 +sudo apt install fonts-lyx ffmpeg -y waterfox-g-kde
 +</code>

 +
 +==== Waterfox Installation via flathub ====
 +Simply run:
 +<code bash>flatpak install flathub net.waterfox.waterfox</code>
 +
 +//Disclaimer: packages might be a bit outdated when sourcing from flathub!//
 +
 +==== Waterfox system's titlebar on Plasma ====
 +
 +When installing [[https://waterfox.net|Waterfox]] on a KDE/Plasma environment, it could be that Waterfox's default setting is to use a custom title bar like this:
 +
 +{{:linux:linux-tutorials:waterfox_settings_custom_titlebar.png?1400|}}
 +
 +In some configurations this can look very ugly like above. But it's possible to change this, therefore navigate to ''More tools'' > ''Customize toolbar'' and tick the check in the lower left corner that says ''Title Bar'':
 +{{:linux:linux-tutorials:waterfox_settings_titlebar.png?1200|}}
 +
 +Finally your Waterfox should look like this:

 +
 +==== Fix missing fonts ====
 +It might be, that some webpages will be displayed in Times New Roman font, to fix that install the missing fonts by just installing the packages ''ttf-mscorefonts-installer'' and ''fonts-lyx'':
 +<code bash>sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer fonts-lyx ffmpeg</code>
 +The package ''ffmpeg'' will additionally make video and audio output possible.
