I’m on fedora Silverblue and just saw that firefox is still on 118 whereas 120 is about to be released.

I found https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/firefox which says that on fedora 39 firefox is on 119 yet it isn’t on my machine.

    There’s a command to hide the Silverblue/RPM of Firefox & change your default browser to the Flatpak’d Firefox in GNOME settings:

    sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/applications/

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop /usr/local/share/applications/

sudo sed -i "2a\\NotShowIn=GNOME;KDE" /usr/local/share/applications/firefox.desktop

sudo update-desktop-database /usr/local/share/applications/

    Or can remove Firefox and Firefox Language Packs as a custom layer:

    rpm-ostree override remove firefox-langpacks firefox Universal Blue images remove it from the image entirely and has FF flatpak out of box.

      Yeah, I removed Firefox from the layers as well and use it via flatpak. Somehow that felt appropriate from a security perspective, to have it sandboxed.
