This is the first I’ve seen something like this on Linux. I’m using endeavourOS and update my system fairly regularly. Is this “normal”?

Firefox is v122 installed from the Aur normal arch repositories with pacman.

edit: added install method

edit 2: corrected install method

    Since you installed it from the AUR, it was likely installed to /opt/firefox-bin, which is not writable by the user. If you want to use firefox’s update checker instead of flapak (or maybe yay), you’ll need to have write access to this directory or install it into your home dir (ex: $HOME/.local/share/firefox).

    Note It’s recommended to use the firefox from the software packages or flatpak. These versions have the update checker disabled.
