My favorite browser. Everything works so far and it has great protecting for privacy and good adblocking. All I'm missing is being able to use different profiles to keep my different projects seperated.
Mint 22.1 Cinnamon - I reinstall flatpak version once a month, as it tends to become buggy as time goes. More stable than system package.
When opening a local HTML page to which a CSS style sheet has been linked, this Flatpak version is unable to access it. The System Packages version has no problem, but this one simply can't do it. So the HTML page is rendered without the slightest CSS modification, and in the developer tools, Firefox tells us that there is no associated style sheet, when in fact there is. EDIT: I am now experimented with Linux and this is because it is a flatpak. Flatseal allows flatpaks to access the host files, which solves the problem I mentionned.
Tried to use it instead of Chrome and then I realised there is no way to export all your profiles or sync ALL your profiles (with extensions) data. It lacks a convenient and reliable synchronization system, even via the cloud indicated by the user. If you change your system or hardware frequently, setting everything up again every time might be very painfull.
Still the best browser and only major browser that doesn't use chromium. If you experience any issues with it, there is a good chance it can be fixed by simply choosing the "System Package" instead of the "Flatpak" in the dropdown next to the install button (which I'd highly recommend).
I downloaded this browser to say that chrome is better, eventually I switched to it.
Exactly like your system Firefox, except running in a sandbox with tight permissions. Truely a stellar flatpak and officially maintained. I'm using it right now to leave this review.
This is the latest version of the Firefox browser, packaged in a Flatpak. Due to this, it's a tad slower and it can't access all files in your system (which may be a problem if you're working with local HTML files), which may make you feel more secure about using it. I still recommend the system package, though, as they're both equally up-to-date and because the system package version is slighty faster and can open local HTML files.
Looking forward to the Developer Edition flatpak in ordet to parmanently swtich to Flatpak Firefox. A nightly edition version would also be nice.
Ok, I hope I have enough to type here. I recently did a fresh install of Linux Mint 20.1 I wanted to do mainly flatpack versions of software I use. FF works great, I uninstalled the FF that came with my LM 20.1 preinstalled, but for two things. Video not from YouTube, like from Instagram or Facebook for example, were glitchy/clippy. A few extensions from FireFox would not fully work or work at all. I could not install the COAPP for Video Download Helper. So for gigles, I REINSTALLED the original FF from the Software Manger NON-FLATPACK. EVERYTHING works great now, kinda disappointed. If any one has an idea on why this was happening, please if possible, do tell.
Seems to work fine except for one thing. I can't connect to my KeePass database with the KeePassXC addon. My KeePassXC client doesn't see the Firefox flatpak browser either. I have a strong suspicion this has something to do with the flatpak sandboxing the browser. Whether it is or not, this is a killer bug for me. Therefore, I'm going back to the original Firefox and will wait until this flatpak is better polished.
They've finally put out a flatpak release of Firefox. Using a Flatpak version instead of the regular pre-installed Firefox, you'll get updates faster.
