I was wondering why my Firefox didn’t get updated for a while and then I found out that the version that came installed on system from the Fedora repo was older than the Flathub version. so I deleted the built in Firefox, deleted the .mozilla folder and installed it from the Flathub repo and now there’s a glitch.
Firefox won’t show in my Gnome apps menu or search. also the launch command in terminal won’t work. I’m suspecting that it’s because the .mozilla folder wasn’t created in my home dir during installation for some reason.
That doesn’t sound like a flatpak issue, the package should not rely on anything under your $HOME/.mozilla
I suspect you have an old desktop file leftover under $HOME/.local/share/applications , can you please check?
If yes, remove it, then disconnect/re-login your sesssion.
thanks @gwillems! now firefox could have been installed and it’s running. it is a lot most unstable than before but I suspect it’s the latest release. it’s already crashed multiple times and froze my desktop altogether…
the weird this is that the .mozilla folder that used to be in my home directory is not there. maybe it’s because the previous version was shipped with my OS and Fedora placed it there. and the Flatpak version might be grouping all flatpak folders somewhere else. can you give me a hint where I might find it?
