Install the latest Firefox Quantum 57.0 on Ubuntu 16.04 / Zorin OS
[raw] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y firefox
[/raw]

Version 57.0, first offered to Release channel users on November 14, 2017

Brace yourself for an all-new Firefox. It’s fast. Really fast. It’s over twice as fast as Firefox from 6 months ago, built on a completely overhauled core engine with brand new technology from our advanced research group, and graced with a clean, modern interface. Today is the first of several releases we’re calling Firefox Quantum, all designed to get to the things you love and the stuff you need faster than ever before. Experience the difference on desktops running Windows, macOS, and Linux; on Android, speed improvements are landing as well, and both Android and iOS have a new look and feel. To learn more about Firefox Quantum, visit the Mozilla Blog.

57.0+build4-0ubuntu0.16.04.5 and higher.

error parsing HTTP 403 response body: invalid character ‘F’ looking for beginning of value: “Forbidden\n”

To fix this Gitlab error please edit your /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb file and update your whitelist with

[raw] gitlab_rails[‘rack_attack_git_basic_auth’] = {
‘enabled’ => true,
‘ip_whitelist’ => [“127.0.0.1, x.x.x.x”],
‘maxretry’ => 20,
‘findtime’ => 60,
‘bantime’ => 360
}
[/raw]

Replacing x.x.x.x with the IP you are trying to login with.

Then do [raw]gitlab-ctl reconfigure[/raw]

Bonus round, also [raw]docker login -u <your username> -p <token> registry.gitlab.com[/raw] Should help.

This will clean the mess up.

[raw] sudo docker system prune -af
[/raw]

But sometimes that’s not enough.  The following will nuke all your images and reclaim your space.

[raw]

sudo service docker stop
sudo rm -rf /var/lib/docker
sudo service docker start

[/raw]
