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
