Firefox ESR update

Thu Jan 19, 2017 5:07 am

Hey Everyone, as you can see by my title I'm having some issues installing Firefox-ESR on my RPi 3 B+, when I go to the terminal and enter
>>> sudo apt-get install iceweasel
it starts the downloading process ask me if I would like to continue with installing since it needs so many Mb's, so I enter Y, than an error appears and says

Err http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ jessie/main firefox-esr armhf 45.5.0esr-1~deb8u1

E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with the install and how can I fix it Thanks

It would appear you did not run apt-get update first or have a fully updated Raspbian Jessie with Pixel Operating System:

code]sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot[/code]
