If you go the flatpak route download https://gitlab.com/librewolf-communi...arch64.flatpak
Then do:
Accept the options and wait for it to install.
4) Create a menu entry by using the run command:
If you download the Appimage https://gitlab.com/librewolf-communi...rch64.AppImage you need to do:
In order to make the file executable. Or in most desktops you can open a file manager, right-click the file and make sure it is marked as executable.
You can also create a Desktop file so it shows up in your menu.
The one I use is:
Copy that to ./local/share/applications
To get the proper Icon to use in the menu, do this:
1. cd to LW.appimage location
now copy/paste or type this
This will extract the contents of LW.appimage to a folder, the icon should be in browser > chrome > icons > default select either default 48 or 64.
There now you have a locked down version of the current Firefox.
