This is becoming a fucking pain in the ass, and it's going to be the final and only reason I end up moving away from it. WTF, makes me feel like I'm back to using Windows. How the hell can I avoid Nobara tampering the firefox welcome page every week?

Thanks!

I asked a friend who uses nobara and he says

Oh I know what they're running into

They're using the rpm which is copied from fedora upstream

Fedora ships with firefox by default and sets the home page to the fedoraproject site

Not sure what they're doing to trigger it to revert though

Nobara moved to chromium as the stock browser in order to have compatibility with steamdeck plugins, anyways

but all you do is just install firefox manually and go home

I'm not sure if that user is using the firefox rpm or flatpak

I use the flatpak with no issues, so

¯\(ツ)/¯

tl;dr as a solution for them, try the flatpak of firefox and see if it does the same thing

flatpaks have better security anyways, because they're sandboxxed away from being able to access the entire system

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
