I did a new install of Rawhide a few days ago, and I just assumed that the Firefox version was the most

recent or within a few weeks of the most recent.

I was pondering the idea of playing with Gnome Boxes, and decided I would try to download an iso of

some other distro.     When I logged on to Manjaro website, it immediately gave me a large dialogue box that said

"your browser Version 78 is out of date."     

So why could Fedora not tell me that ?

Anyways, I removed version 78 ( the rpm version ) and installed the flatpak version, which is 80.

I am not up to date on the general consensus of using flatpaks in September of 2020.   I have no problem with flatpaks.

Now I have to set up all my web-stuff settings again.   

Why would anybody want to use the rpm version of Firefox ?     Limited resources on their computer ??

While on the subject of flatpaks, what are some of the upcoming flatpak apps to keep an eye out for ?

What are flatpaks are way above their rpm counterparts in development ?

Are future versions of Fedora ( 34, 35, etc. ) going to default to the flatpak version of Firefox ?

My install of Rawhide has about 20 man-hours of usage, with no problems.    I hope to do an install

of 33 in a month or two.

On an unrelated topic,

the fans on my Radeon 5500XT, do not turn on except when booting up, but I have not

tried to play a video game yet.

Cheers,
