Hi. I downloaded Waterfox from waterfox.net

I opened waterfox but I can’t fix it in the dock. How can I do this? Also, where is the recommended place for storing these tar.gz programs ? Is there an recomendate way of installing it?

Thanks and sorry for being newbie and for having a bad english. I still learning.

you can also pull files, folders, etc. directly from nemo or nautilus onto the plank bar …

I was not expecting something so easy

The other option is to start the app. Right click on the icon in the dock and choose the “keep in dock” menu option.

This doesn’t worked. The option to “keep in the dock” was not showing.

(I started the firefox in the terminal with ./waterfox)

I don’t know if I did something wrong, but the only option was “close”

waterfox-g3.svg icon needs to be added to the theme. I tried creating a symlink but that didn’t work for some reason. Ended up editing the desktop file to use the older waterfox icon by renaming waterfox-g3 to just waterfox.

Not sure if there’s a reason why we shouldn’t make Waterfox the default browser in Budgie - but it does fully support the Global Menu, unlike Firefox. I’d be in favor of switching but it is based on the ESR release cycle and not the typical consumer version one.
