This is the first I’ve seen something like this on Linux. I’m using endeavourOS and update my system fairly regularly. Is this “normal”?

Firefox is v122 installed from the Aur normal arch repositories with pacman.

edit: added install method

edit 2: corrected install method

    Here’s something should make it work for any user. Though it might break on an actual AUR update.

    DISCLAIMER: This is probably very insecure. Only let people you trust update firefox. Seriously, just install from the official repository or use the flatpak.

    Create a group named firefox and add yourself to it. Set the group owner of the firefox directory to firefox. If you have other users you want to be able to update firefox, add them to the firefox group as well.

    groupadd firefox -U $USER
find /opt/firefox-bin -exec chown :firefox {} +
find /opt/firefox-bin -exec chmod g+w {} +

    Then log out and back in.

      This reads like someone explaining how to cook a pizza with a propane torch. I love it.

      Thanks to @NateSwift@lemmy.world I realised that I didn’t use the AUR. I installed with the normal Arch repositories(pacman).
