I installed Firefox browser from the TazPanel. That worked well - success!
However, it's only version 10.0 !!! How do I upgrade it to one of the more
recent versions - I think the latest is version 68 or 69 - a bit of catching up
to do ...
Thanks for any help with this.

This is the terminal output, when I tried to get the most recent Firefox version:
'root@slitaz:/home/tux# tazpkg -gi get firefox-official
Unable to find: get in the mirrored packages list.
Unable to find: get-get in the mirrored packages list.'
PS. But will Firefox 68 run on kernel 2.6 (on Slitaz4), which is very old ?

Just before you posted I installed the latest Firefox version from:
firefox-69.0.1.tar.bz2
The extracted package was moved to the directory:
opt/firefox69
A symbolic link was then created:
between opt/firefox69/firefox and usr/bin/firefox
(I checked the latter and it has a symbolic link on the file icon)
Using the GUI, Firefox doesn’t appear listed under Applications/Internet.
What do I do next to link & launch Firefox from the GUI ?
Many thanks – any help is much appreciated

Firefox-official-69.0.1 won't run on slitaz-4.0

In the near future new pre-compiled versions of firefox a.k.a. "firefox-official" are not going to run on slitaz-5.0
Someone with the required skills would have to update the slitaz toolchain which is over 5 years old and rebuild the entire repo or build firefox from source code everytime it's updated.

@mojo - thanks for this, useful to know
@HGT - thanks for the correct command-line you gave above which did the job nicely ! I now have v.68 installed & working well :-)
