Can not update Firefox.

Post by owie196 »

Hello, I am a newbie to Linux. I am running Linux Mint 15. I can't update Firefox for some reason. I keep getting an error saying "Unable to correct missing packages." Can someone please help me?

Linux Mint 15 reached End-Of-Life back in 2014 if I am not mistaken. If you are still running it that's a bigger problem than an outdated browser.

OK - first - do you know how to download a fresh .iso of Mint and burn a bootable image ? Let's start there.
