Help: Firefox not working on Steam Deck.

[Plasmaphys]

Hi everyone. I can't install Firefox on my steam deck, i'm fairly new to Linux, but i just don't know why. When I try to install it through the Discover App, it seems to work, but when i click launch, it just opens up the same page, its like an infinite loop. I have tried some things, I tried installing it through Console, but it only runs when the Console is open. I tried installing it from Mozilla's website, when i pinned it to the desktop and taskbar, it just brought me back to the Discover Store. HELP NEEDED!

The initial icon at least that "used to be" displayed was the "Install" icon for Mozilla. After you install it, it doesn't change that shortcut. Look in your installed apps folder and look for the installed app icon.

[allegedly]

can you try installing other browser to check if you have an issue with the Discover app ?
for example click install on Mullvad browser or Librewolf and check if it works ok

Librewolf works perfectly fine.

an everyone should use it, or any other similar "improved privacy" fork considering the pro-publicity and data reselling changes mozilla has been adopting in recent years, plus their most recent "anti-consumer" changes.

anyone that understands why anti-censorship and what firefox used to (or tried to) represent, should avoid it as much as google, microsoft and apple.
