PM under DEBIAN not updating

[nostromo]

My main desktop here is Linux Mint 19.1, but I got DEBIAN Stretch and Buster running on separate harddisks.

Installation as stated here

Code: Select all

1. Extract the Pale Moon 28 tarball (once released) to /opt, overriding the existing version there.
2. Run the following command from the terminal: sudo chown -R "$USER:$USER" "/opt/palemoon"

All three systems are set in the same way. Notify me, if there is an update available ...

Works on Linux Mint, but not on both DEBIAN systems.

Any idea please?

Please note that in order for the internal updater to work, the browser must be located in a user-writable location.
