Adding New Versions

Determine if there are new versions

Go to the FireFox releases page and look for new versions.

Adding a new version

If there is a new version perform the following tasks. In this case, we'll do the steps for version 47.

Download and Determine SHA256

• Go to the download page at https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/{version}/mac/en-US/
• Download the file
• Grab the SHA256 for the file by running shasum -a 256 ~/Downloads/Firefox\ 47.0.1.dmg -- -> 37f4b7b6a1fec3eb5225a0d1aed3c3d6979b5cf01748479313f6e384929cdc75

Create new Local Cask

• In the terminal, run brew cask create firefox-47
• The new cask should open, grab the contents of the latest cask from the 'Casks' folder and copy into new local cask.
• Fill in the new version and SHA, save
• Test it by running brew cask audit firefox-47 --download -- If you see audit for firefox-47: passed, you're all set.

Create PR

• Create a new entry in the `homebrew-firefox/Casks folder with contents of local cask
• Submit PR

Test live Cask

After the PR is merged, do the following:

Remove local cask:

rm /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask/Casks/firefox-*
rm /Users/dcaddigan/Library/Caches/Homebrew/Cask/firefox-*
brew cask uninstall firefox-47 

Ensure local cask is not installable:

brew cask install firefox-47

This should yield No available Cask for firefox-47.

Now refresh homebrew-firefox tap from Github to pull in new version:

brew untap goldcaddy77/homebrew-firefox
brew tap goldcaddy77/homebrew-firefox

brew cask install firefox-47
