       This morning, I switched from the Fedora-provided Firefox package to the Flatpak version available via Flathub.Outside of some minor font rendering differences, it seems like the Flatpak version doesn't soak up quite as many CPU cycles (especially when idling). Another improvement, albeit not as much as I would have hoped, is less stuttering or freezing of video rendering while the audio stream plays regularly (happens with YouTube, Patreon and Nebula players, to name a few). I do notice a little bit of sluggish starts on the video rendering in the first 2-3 seconds, but it starts playing normally.1/x#Firefox #Linux #Flatpak

       Getting my existing Firefox profile to load in the Flatpak version was a little bit more finicky than many of the forum posts lead you to believe... at least, that was my experience on Fedora.Even though I copied over my ~/.mozilla/firefox directory into ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla, I still had to modify the profiles.ini file to set General.StartWithLastProfile to 0 in order to get the Profile chooser prompt and select the existing profile. Without doing that, it would always kick off a new profile.2/x#Firefox #Linux #Flatpak

       In order to get my custom GTK 3.0 and 4.0 CSS to work consistently with GTK-based Flatpak apps, I ran the following commands:flatpak -u override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0flatpak -u override --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-4.0I also copied over the gtk.css and settings.ini under ~/.config/gtk-3.0 and ~/.config/gtk-4.0 to the respective directories under ~/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/config just to be safe.I still need to update my Zsh startup scripts to add /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin to my PATH environment variable and aliases for Firefox and other Flatpak apps.#Firefox #Linux #Flatpak
