Mozilla Firefox Cookbook

This cookbook installs Firefox browser. Mac OS X and Windows downloads directly from
Mozilla where you can specify a version (e.g. latest, latest-esr, latest-beta, 42.0, 38.4.0esr, or 43.0b4)
with latest being the default, and a language with en-US being the default.
Linux only uses the package manager at this time.

A firefox_version method is also available to retrieve the version installed.
