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.

Firefox is one of the few exceptions I suggest always use native version
If it is due to an inefficiency of Firefox it seems strange to me that no fork has solved the problem, other browsers like Brave work perfectly.
Not only because of performance issues, but also because it's clunky sometimes. For example, I cannot use KeePassXC Browser extension on Flatpak Firefox cause this implementation is borked. However in native version works flawlessly
The extension is probably not broken because of Firefox but because Flatpak's sandboxing prevents it from talking to KeePassXC.
I know. That's why I'm using native Firefox version, which works flawlessly
