===== 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**Longer, bit outdated way:**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 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:

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'':

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.
