==Installation==

Nix offer's multiple ways to install Firefox.

===Using Nix===

Firefox may be normally installed by using the <code>firefox</code> package.

===Using Home Manager===

Nix's [[Home Manager]] provides a configuration option for managing Firefox profiles. To allow Home Manager to manage Firefox, you should set the following option in your <code>home.nix</code>:

programs.firefox.enable = true;

</syntaxhighlight>

For more information on managing Firefix with Home Manager, please refer to [https://rycee.gitlab.io/home-manager/options.html#opt-programs.firefox.enable Home Manager's manual's Firefox section ].

==Other Editions==

Nixpkgs also offers other variants of Firefox aside from the ones stated above. These may suit your needs more comfortably than vanilla Firefox.

'''Note:''' The packages for the variants listed below are installed ''instead'' of the normal <code>firefox</code> package and each other, which means that you'll have to choose one among these options.

===Wayland===

Users running a Wayland compositor (such as [[Sway]]) may want to use a Wayland-compatible build of Firefox. This can be achieved by replacing the <code>firefox</code> package with <code>firefox-wayland</code> instead.

===Firefox ESR===

This is the '''E'''xtended '''S'''upport '''R'''elease of Firefox provided by Mozilla, this release receives only security updates and possesses a more relaxed cadence of feature implementation. You can install it by using the <code>firefox-esr</code> package.

===Mozilla Distributed Binaries===

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.
