I am using the Firefox flatpak from the fedora repository.
However I have noticed that in some cases when I click links, e.g. from KeepassXC, I get the following message:
Any ideas why this may be happening?
On the other hand, both Snap and Firefox Flatpak for Snapstore and Flathub are built on Firefox infra and are baking our.desktop files so in this case, they do use the in-tree ones. But I couldn't agree more, we should aim to single-source things into a single place and ease this out.
Another way to reproduce this issue is to run the following code:
Make sure to create a test.html file with a text editor and add your user name in the string above. The commented out line is the original line from a python package’s Makefile.
- Install Firefox as a Linux app: going this route takes a few more steps, but it’s worth it. When you install the Firefox browser as a Linux app, you get the Firefox desktop browser and all the benefits that come with, including Enhanced Tracking Protection, a built-in password manager, access to thousands of add-ons (including UBlock Origin ad blocker), and themes to customize the look of.
- This is how I added H.264 support for Chromium and Firefox browsers in Fedora Silverblue 33. After enabling H264, I could be able to play all type of media formats without any issues. Install VLC, Gnome Videos, Celluloid. The previous method is perfectly fine to install and enable most commonly required multimedia codecs in Silverblue.
Firefox Nightly Flatpak
Before I migrated from the firefox rpm package to the firefox fedora flatpak those things were working fine. Any ideas on how to fix them?
Why get Firefox for Chromebook?
While a Chromebook already has Chrome installed, downloading and using Firefox as your go-to browser provides you with a few benefits:
- Always-on tracking protection: by default, Firefox runs Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) to protect your personal data from known ad trackers, social trackers and cryptomining scripts that follow you around the web.
- Supporting independent technology: since most major browsers are now running on Chromium, there are fewer options that don’t feed into the Big Tech machine. Firefox is backed by a not-for-profit and is dedicated to fixing the internet. Using Firefox makes you a part of that.
