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).
