    It’s built by the distro and not official from Mozilla. This sometimes has quirks, like invalid or missing api keys resulting in location-based services not working (a plus for some folks).

      You are correct, they have some minor patches, but I trust Fedora and I like their principles, while I do not like Mozilla itself and especially their corporate bullshit principles.

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.
