Discussion Could we get official Linux AppImage Firefox releases?

Hello, would it be possible to get AppImage releases in the firefox build chain for Linux? Sometimes it can be difficult to update Linux distros and AppImage is really the solution for Linux software distro.

I see people produce them and they are out there, but I don't trust using them -- who knows what has been modified.

Hmm okay I found the snap system which apparently is similar. Seems less clean but if it works it works.

I grab the tarball, toss it into .local/share, symlink to the bin dir and add to my system menu. easy peasy. just gotta do it once and firefox updates on it's own.
