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.

Sudo apt install librewolf

Sudo apt install flatpak

Flatpak install librewolf

If that doesn't work then I recommend you try just installing it from your package manager of choice

But if that doesn't work then I don't know what else I can do for you mate. Firefox broke on my version of Linux mint just uninstalled it and used unchromeium Linux and it's subsequent distros can be quite weird at times

You would need to add the flathub repo. But thats already done by default on Mint.
