How to install Firefox 8.0 in CranchBang Linux

It’s a surprise how easy it is to install Firefox 8.0 on CrunchBang Linux. I downloaded the installation file provided by Mozilla in .tar.bz2 format. Extracted it and moved it to my /opt directory and set it as my default browser. There is no need to compile the program, the archive already contain pre-compiled binary files. Installing it from Synaptic Package Manager will install the previous version.

While some people are concerned about Firefox’s rapid release cycle, I don’t care! this is good free stuff you don’t want to miss.
