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.

In light of Mozilla’s recent policy changes, we no longer feel assured that Firefox aligns with our commitment to protect your privacy. This prompted us to revisit the choice of default web browser in Zorin OS 17.3.

Wow, never recommending zorin to anyone again. Switching from gecko to chromium is a dumb move.

Maybe this was not supposed to have been posted until April fool's day. Silly Zorin was too early for the joke.

I have ff installed but uses librewolf for most uses. Should I be worried if ff is in my system? Somebody please explain.

I think we're pretty far from that being a problem

Thank you. Was out of the loop with ff for a while.
