Type your term into the location bar (aka the Awesome Bar) and the autocomplete function will include possible matches from your browsing history, bookmarked sites and open tabs.

Who publishes this

Something concrete is wrong: the id claims a namespace this repository does not own, or the build does things a build should not. Flatsonar warns twice.

  • org.mozilla.Firefox claims the org.mozilla namespace but is hosted by github.com/danigm and does not build the owner's code
    publisher:namespace
  • same name as org.mozilla.firefox on Flathub but from a different repository
    publisher:lookalike
