Following the link shuts down the browser.

Here is the text from the link:
Install Firefox .deb package for Debian-based distributions

To install the .deb package through the APT repository, do the following:

Create a directory to store APT repository keys if it doesn't exist:

sudo install -d -m 0755 /etc/apt/keyrings

Import the Mozilla APT repository signing key:

wget -q https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/repo-signing-key.gpg -O- | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc > /dev/null
If you do not have wget installed, you can install it with: sudo apt-get install wget

The fingerprint should be 35BAA0B33E9EB396F59CA838C0BA5CE6DC6315A3

gpg -n -q --import --import-options import-show /etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc | awk '/pub/{getline; gsub(/^ +| +$/,""); print "\n"$0"\n"}'

Next, add the Mozilla APT repository to your sources list:

echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/packages.mozilla.org.asc] https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mozilla.list > /dev/null

Configure APT to prioritize packages from the Mozilla repository:

echo '
Package: *
Pin: origin packages.mozilla.org
Pin-Priority: 1000
' | sudo tee /etc/apt/preferences.d/mozilla

Update your package list and install the Firefox .deb package:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox

seemed to install but there is no X11 server in this config

Thank you for the walk through. I was able to install the current stock antiX Firefox (120.1) with "sudo apt update" and then "sudo apt install firefox". It is about 251MB of disk space with dependencies.

I  ran
sudo apt update 
sudo apt upgrade

And Firefox worked.  It may have been a dependency that upgrade fixed.

other things like the icons on the shutdown screen were updated after the upgrade
 ( I think.  I I may have to do another stock install. and test think a little less chaotically)
