trim condor
Theres this browser i wanna install called waterfox. They have a tar.bz file on their downloads page for linux.
I extracted using tar -xvf filename and was able to run the executebale..HOWEVER
theres no icon for it and it doesn't show up when i use my search bar. (it also doesn't seem to save my data like browser settings but maybe i forgot to save those changes idk).
I ended up just making a shortcut for it and setting the short cuts image to one of the icons that came with the tar
feels weird that i had to do it that way tho

it's a shame - A RIDICULOUS SHAME - that the tar file doesn't come with ANY form of proper instructions.
this is a sample of doing it but with firefox direct from their website tar file. :
Got the tar.bz file from Mozilla:
Extracted and moved the firefox-126.0.1 folder from the archive into /opt/ folder
created a link:
sudo ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /usr/local/bin/firefox
This link proves broken because the extracted folder name wasn't named firefox,
but rather firefox-126.0.1, so fixed link functionality by renaming folder to just
firefox, and ensuring that it contains the executable directly within it and is residing in /opt/
Get the application shortcut to install:
sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mozilla/sumo-kb/main/install-firefox-linux/firefox.desktop -P /usr/local/share/applications
Start new Firefox from menu> Internet category> Firefox Web Browser
In the above example, the last steps were cuz I had Firefox ESR, so that had to be done. Ignore the bullet steps.
