Quick answer

If you have winget installed, the fastest way to get LibreWolf is via the package manager: search for the official package and run the install command. Use the package ID listed on the package ID page. Winget simplifies scripted installs and makes updates easier.

Prerequisites

  • Windows 10 (1809+) or Windows 11 with App Installer / winget available.
  • Microsoft Store App Installer or the winget client installed. Check by running winget --version.
  • Internet connection to fetch package manifests and binaries.

Find the official package

Before installing, confirm the official package ID. Run:

winget search librewolf

Look for a result that matches the official publisher and version. The canonical package ID is shown on the package ID page. Do not install packages from unknown publishers.

Install command (example)

Use the official package ID in the command below. Replace <PACKAGE_ID> with the ID from the package page.

winget install --id <PACKAGE_ID> --source winget

If you want to run silently in deployments, winget typically runs without interactive prompts, making it suitable for automation.

Update LibreWolf with winget

To update the installed package:

winget upgrade --id <PACKAGE_ID>

Or to upgrade all updatable packages:

winget upgrade --all

Uninstall

To remove the package via winget:

winget uninstall --id <PACKAGE_ID>

Enterprise & automation tips

Use winget in scripts and configuration management tools (Intune, SCCM wrappers, or custom PowerShell) to provision machines. Always test a scripted install on a clean VM and confirm the package ID and publisher. For a repeatable manifest, include version pins or validate checksums after install.

Security & verification

winget fetches packages using manifests that reference sources. Always verify the publisher field and prefer packages maintained by the official project or trusted maintainers. If you want additional assurance, compare installed binary checksums with the official SHA256 from the Download page.

Troubleshooting

  • winget not found: install the App Installer from the Microsoft Store or update Windows to a version that includes winget.
  • Package not found: ensure package manifests are up to date: winget source update, and re-run the search.
  • Install failed: check error output, ensure you have network access, and verify the package ID and publisher information.
