Firefox the flatpak version crashed and decided to remove itself from the system, is this common on Linux??

I checked thru Discover and terminal using whereis firefox and all I got is user/lib64/firefox

I should be mad, but I find this too hilarious to be mad… lol… files disappear not entire apps

    What this person told you was wrong, you need to use flatpak run [package id] to run flatpak apps. You can do flatpak list to see all installed flatpaks with their ids. An id looks something like org.example.app and you’d run it with flatpak run org.example.app.

    Also, is it shown as being installed in Discover? If it’s not you could try just installing it again and if it is, you can try uninstalling it first. The user data for Firefox should stay intact.

      And if ever unsure, look up Firefox on flathub; every app page shows the command line instructions for installing and for running it.
