Firefox script installs x86_64 regardless of actual architecture #211

Description

The Firefox installation script always downloads from a URL for the x86_64 tarball:

docker-headless-vnc-container/src/common/install/firefox.sh

Line 29 in 4a30b26

    
           FF_URL=http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/$FF_VERS/linux-x86_64/en-US/firefox-$FF_VERS.tar.bz2

Impact

Firefox does not run when the image is built for other targets, such as arm64.

Suggested solutions

Use distribution-specific packages for Firefox (as with Chromium) when there is no binary tarball for the current architecture on releases.mozilla.org, or
Omit Firefox from the image altogether if not targeting x86_64 to reduce installed size and not have an unusable desktop icon
