Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

How should we ship Firefox next release?

We're working on Drauger OS 7.8 right now, and we wanted to know how the community feels. Should we ship #Firefox ESR as a native package, or normal @firefox@fedia.io as a #flatpak?

We won't ship normal Firefox as a native package, as that would require some complicated packaging mechanics to allow. And, we can't ship Firefox as a snap as, with the way we build our ISOs, we cannot ship snaps.

So, thoughts? What would you prefer? Vote and discuss below!

The next version of Firefox should be shipped exclusively in a large collection of several dozen 3.5" floppy disks.

If you want people to use your OS, then do the proper work...

Never heard of drauger, seems cool.

I vote native, though I'm not a Flatpak user so I'm biased

In some way that can remain consistent for once
