Installing Firefox In Kali Linux

Ok, the next problem that I am facing right now is with the absence of a web browser for some surfing.

Here are the steps to download and install Firefox in your Kali Linux box:

Use the wget command to fetch the tar file from Firefox official site. Example:

xox@XOX-KLINUX:~$ wget https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/40.0.3/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-40.0.3.tar.bz2

Unzip the tar file into the /usr/local directory, make sure you run this as root!:

root@XOX-KLINUX:/home/xox# ls
Desktop  Documents  Downloads  firefox-40.0.3.tar.bz2  Music  Pictures  Public  Templates  Videos
root@XOX-KLINUX:/home/xox# cd /usr/local

root@XOX-KLINUX:/usr/local# ls
bin  etc  firefox  games  include  lib  man  sbin  share  src

And you're done!
