Firefox needs a few additional things to be fully functional. One is an icon
|
|
|
|
|
theme and the other is a font. If you have already installed the fonts and
|
|
|
|
|
icon theme of your choosing, this step can be skipped.

--[003] Privacy Package --------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Provided is also an optional privacy package which makes Firefox perform zero
|
|
|
|
|
unsolicited network requests. More information can be found in the
|
|
|
|
|
documentation (@/firefox-privacy) Expect some website breakage when using this
|
|
|
|
|
privacy package YMMV.

As of Firefox 91. There is no need to set special environment variables to
|
|
|
|
|
enable Wayland support (in a Wayland only environment like ours). The browser
|
|
|
|
|
should start with no further configuration.
