Details

Since we are already providing MSI packages for windows, maybe we should also provide autopackage files for linux. The only problem before is that each distro uses different packaging mechanisms, but autopackage now solves the problem. According to its website, autopackage is a tool that "lets you create binary packages for Linux that will install on any distribution, can automatically resolve dependencies and can be installed using multiple front ends, for instance from the command line or from a graphical interface". With autopackage, users of any distros can install freshly released Firefox in a distro-compliant manner (unlike the installer). For more info., go to http://autopackage.org/
