3.3 Wont install firefox?
Every time since I updated to 3.3 I try to click firefox, and it opens the window for Discover - Firefox, to install it as the flatpak Im assuming. BUT the window freezes every single time and doesnt go anywhere and then has to be force stopped. Its done this about 10 times. Even after a restart. Sooo, now I cant use firefox in desktop mode with 3.3? Should I just go back to the stable 3.1? Id really like to avoid that since in 3.1 I often go hours where it disconnects from wifi every 45 seconds.

FIX
Oops, got it. Clicking the prexisting Icon that I had in my task bar from 3.1 froze and wouldnt load discover. but if you manually go to discover and type in firefox then you can install from there.

However be prepared for it to be a PITA. Have to go relocate my theme, have to re pin all my home page sites and get rid of all the spam ones, have to relog into everything. no option to import. its like your previous set up of firefox just never existed.

Yeah. real careless of Valve to not mention this. Nuked the profile. Thought Firefox Sync backed it all up, but I guess not.

I have the same problem you describe. But i can't figure out how to do the fix you describe. Maybe because my machine never had 3.1 on it.
