Mozilla Firefox crash in Debian

I have Seeed ReSpeaker v2.0 and it comes with Mozilla already installed. It is not starting and it gave me this error:
I tried different browsers and all not starting
I also tried to reinstall Mozilla and clear and same result
I had the same problem after upgrading (apt-get upgrade), so I downgraded Firefox:
sudo apt-get install firefox-esr=52.9.0esr-1~deb9u1
Then I was able to run the demo install and use Firefox to register the device with Amazon.
Hope this helps.

Installing Firefox on OEL (Oracle Enterprise Linux)

I am trying to install Firefox 59.0.2 on my linux server(OEL). But everytime I try to install firefox with command (yum install firefox) it installs 52.x version.
Could you please help me with the command to install firefox 59.0.2 in Oracle Enterprise Linux - 7.1
If possible, use yum to install Firefox on Oracle Linux. Using yum you can specify the Firefox version to install. Depending on your OL version, you may or may not be able to install Firefox 59.0.2.
To find which versions are available through the yum repositories on your machine, run:
sudo yum --showduplicates list firefox
You can choose a specific version that is shown in the list. So, on my OL7 VMs I currently have Firefox 60.3.0, and can install it like this:
sudo yum install firefox-60.3.0
Note that you may need to uninstall the existing version of Firefox before installing a new one:
sudo yum remove firefox
Since you're mentioning Enterprise, that's probably the reason why it downloads the 52.x version: it's the latest ESR (Extended Support Release). To install the latest version, you can:
Download the Linux archive from the official page.
Untar it with tar -xjvf firefox-59.02.tar.bz2 (current release).
Run the firefox executable from the unpacked directory.

I want to use Ubuntu features available in windows 10 to setup PHP project.

I am using windows 10, I want to use ubuntu that coming with windows 10 to install all tools as laragon or wamp, IDE like phpStorm and web browser like google chrome.
I search on google, I find some commands for installation of some features like
For Apache2 : sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-doc apache2-utils
starting: service apache2 start
For google-chrome : sudo apt install chromium-browser
I can't open chrome via command line.
For Postgres : sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib
Can I use this feature to do all of those staffs?
if yes how/where should I put my project files?
can I mix some windows features with Ubuntu, say apache server in ubuntu and use web browser in window?

How to install firefox in precise64 vagrant box

I want to use selenium-webdriver with chrome or firefox in precise 64 bit box.
At first I must install firefox, so I followed this instraction.
http://www.installationpage.com/selenium/how-to-run-selenium-headless-firefox-in-ubuntu/
I added ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable to /etc/apt/sources.list, then sudo apt-get update.
But then I got this error.
E: Type 'ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
I also tried add-apt-repository but it fails with command not found error.
How can do to install firefox to precise64? Or is it better if I use another box for using selenium webdriver?
Installing firefox will cause a lot of dependencies to be installed, .e.g X and a desktop environment or at least a light weight WM.
In fact, 12.04.4 LTS already has firefox 28.0 in its official repository, you don't have to add a PPA to get the latest stable, just do sudo apt-get -y install firefox and it'll do.
BTW: You are getting the error because it's not the correct line(s) to be added in sources.list or split files under /etc/sources.list.d/*.list
it should be like below:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-next/ubuntu precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/firefox-next/ubuntu precise main
To use add-apt-repository command, you'll have to install python-software-properties beforehand.
