As Jesse notes, if an MX user has a problem with say Firefox, they typically don't go to Mozilla for assistance. They come to this forum.

Re: Good answer to a FAQ, "Why native packages instead of snaps, flatpaks, etc.?"
Some flatpak, snaps, appimages cannot function/operate the same as their native package can due to limitations in how the flatpak, snap, or appimage is made or restrictions with the container technology.
This is especially true for applications that need to access hardware or modify restricted settings/configurations of the system or other applications.
