The repo appears to be working for installing/updating packages. Mozilla should allow file listing which should fix the 404s, and make this repo behave as expected when manually browsed (Apparently hosted on a Google webserver; maybe Google forbids this?).

Or, to really prove it to yourself, you can re-download the package:

  apt-get install --download-only --reinstall firefox


I will have to look into that more tomorrow. My only Debian desktop is a laptop at family's house and currently asleep. It mentioned an error with the repository but my first troubleshooting step was to try to manually verify I could _get_ to the repo in a browser.
