Today I checked the #Firefox in #Flatpak from #Fedora. Looks usable on first sight. For most people that's a nice and easy step forward in browser security. Sadly I can't use it due to my integration with Yubikeys and other programs. But for most users who aren't using all this fancy stuff, It's a great option.
And for those worried "flatpak leads to outdated dependencies", nope, the version from registry.fedoraproject.org uses basically the same CI mechanisms as the RPM version.

@sheogorath Had the same issue with Firefox distributed as Snap but a quick issue report to Mozilla and Snap community fixed it in no time :)
@kravietz Well, I see how they did it…

Not sure we really want to do that in Flatpak 🤔
But seems like there will be a portal for it: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/3076
