Overview¶

The Firefox plugin installs the Mozilla Firefox web browser to a shared persistent volume in your project. Once installed, Firefox is available to all workstations that mount the shared volume, enabling web browsing from within containerized desktop environments.

How It Works¶

Software Installer — When added to a project, Terra downloads and extracts Firefox to the shared volume you specify. Once complete, Firefox is available at that path for every workstation in the project that mounts the volume.

Prerequisites¶

A shared persistent volume provisioned in your project
Workstations with a desktop environment (e.g. Helios or LSIO Webtop) that can launch GUI applications

Installation¶

Open Terra and navigate to the Plugin Marketplace
Search for "Firefox"
Click Install
Fill in the configuration fields below
Click Confirm to deploy

Configuration¶

Install-Time Fields¶

Field	Details
`install_volume`	shared-volume · Required Shared persistent volume to install Firefox into
`destination`	string · Optional · Default: `/apps/firefox` Directory path within the volume for the Firefox installation

Notes¶

Firefox is installed by default to /apps/firefox on the selected volume
The installer downloads Firefox directly from Mozilla's release servers; outbound internet access from the cluster is required
Firefox is free and open-source software (MPL 2.0 license) — no license key is needed
