Mozilla themselves provide official pre-built Firefox binaries. It is possible to install these packages through Nix by using the <code>-bin</code> suffix with the package. So you'd use <code>firefox-bin</code> instead of the normal package. This will download the binary from Mozilla's servers and install it on your system. | Mozilla themselves provide official pre-built Firefox binaries.

=== How to run Firefox without pulseaudio and still get audio output? === | |||
Replace libpulseaudio by libpressureaudio, which uses apulse to emulate pulseaudio but uses ALSA directy. So, you don't need to install/enable pulse audio. | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix"> | |||
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }: | |||
(pkgs.wrapFirefox.override {libpulseaudio = pkgs.libpressureaudio;}) pkgs.firefox-unwrapped {} | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
and installing it with <code>nix-env -f firefox.nix -i</code>. | |||
When using [[Home Manager]], add the following to your configuration: | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix"> | |||
programs.firefox.package = (pkgs.wrapFirefox.override { libpulseaudio = pkgs.libpressureaudio; }) pkgs.firefox-unwrapped { }; | |||
</syntaxhighlight> | |||
