From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

i do this my setting up a firefox account and syncing all of those things into my account.
that way, my firefox setup is always the same from computer-to-computer as well as from computer-to-smartphone.
that fact that yours is freezing suggests that something is wrong with your setup; do you get the same behavior if you use a non-flatpak version of firefox?
I'm happy that syncing works for you but privacy is very important to me so I don't want to upload my data to someone else's server(s).
I'm going to experiment with uninstalling flatpak firefox completely and reinstalling it to see if it'll fix the issue.
If that doesn't work, I'll try using firefox downloaded & installed with apt.
i think that you're smart to considering mozilla's trajectory.
i'm kicking myself for not applying my enshitification experiences that comes naturally from profit driven organizations (especially when they claim to be non-profits). i should have seen it coming since i've been moving from one platform to another because of enshitification since the 1990's and now i'm just as stuck inside an ecosystem like redditors and facebookers are; but it's worse since the most viable alternatives are no better.
Tell me about it, it took me a long time to get out of google's ecosystem. As cliche as it sounds, you have to do it one step at a time
