  • Thanks for the response, definitely helpful! My follow up to that would be I’m still not sure how updating would work if I run the command you posted. Once I run that in the terminal, how do I know when there is an update for firefox? Will firefox just tell me like in windows, and update itself? Do I need to run a specific command in the terminal to prompt updates?

    While I have you here too, I’ve just found one more bug that’s been bothering me… In the application launcher, when I try to use the scroll bar the cursor won’t select the bar itself, instead just defaulting to resizing the window. Any ideas on that? It’s kind of a pain but I could live with it. Googling again didn’t really bring up anything conclusive. Here’s a clip to see what I’m talking about. Thank you again!



  • Thanks for helping!

    I’m on KDE Plasma 6.3.4 with Wayland, using an Nvidia GPU, 4080 super. Checking that about page, it says it’s using wayland as well. I’m using flatpak firefox version 138.0.4.

    I really can’t peg what causes it. I have two monitors, and my non primary one seems worse than the other. My primary display will only do it occasionally, but scrolling through youtube on the other will basically always cause the issue. Like I said, I’ve only seen it happen with firefox so it has to be something weird with the install. Is there a different way to install firefox other than a flatpak? Googling that…

    Ok, I’m not sure why I didn’t try this, but I downloaded just the linux …exe? Program? from the firefox website and it seems like the glitch is nonexistent on that version. My next question would be how different is that from the flatpak? What’s the difference? Do I need to do something else for updates?
