update firefox in linux lite? sudo apt install firefox?

Hi,

I am trying to update firefox in linux lite 4.8. Is this the command, sudo apt install firefox?

I tried that, then it requested a password, tried that, then some error loaded about not being to access some files or what ever.

I got the command from a youtube video, playing instrumental music.:D

The system did update fine, but firefox is on 71.0 so the command above didn't work, var/lib/dpgk/lock-frontend (11: resource temporarily unavailable.) So what could be the problem with that?

A web search for "apt 11: resource temporarily unavailable" turned up this article.

Afterthought: Is it possible that v. 71 is the current version in the Linux Lite repos? If so, you may need to get the appropriate package from the Mozilla website and install it using something like gdebi.
