      Same… I don’t understand the appeal of Chrome. I think they used a new java engine like 10 years ago and beat Firefox in a handful of benchmarks, and then Firefox conclusively and irreconcilably trounced Chrome a few months later, never letting up a bit.

        This sounded weird to me, so I just tried it. Running Firefox on Kubuntu, I just downloaded it with one click from here.

        Are you sure? I just tested and after logging in, the option to download the launcher was there (popos/firefox).

        Just tried it myself and it doesn’t have any issues at all. It seems like it might be an issue with something else on your end.

        Though honestly I’d strongly recommend against using the Official launcher as it has been known to introduce bugs and in general has poorer support for mods. I prefer the MultiMC forks like Prism, which don’t have the bugs the official one does.
