Even though Flathub just like Fedora has massive Red Hat support, apparently Fedora policy dictates that it cannot ship with packages that are not built by Fedora itself. So in stead of throwing their weight behind Flathub the Firefox in the image can either be layered Firefox or the unofficial Firefox flatpak build from Fedora’s own Flatpak repository. Which might not be up to par and as up to date as the official one. Waste of time and resources if you as me, but apparently adding Flathub to the “whitelist” is not an option…
I was wondering the same thing. Don’t know!
Not as far as I know. But as mentioned by Vala it is indeed the official package. Has since been picked up by Phoronix, OMG Ubuntu, Linux Uprising and others.
By the way the Flatpak version does not use Wayland yet. If you are running Wayland and want Firefox to make use of it you’ll have to run these two commands to enable it for now:
flatpak override --socket=wayland org.mozilla.firefox
flatpak override --env=GDK_BACKEND=wayland org.mozilla.firefox
