Where has Firefox gone? It’s now showing as “updating” on my Umbrel desktop and doesn’t appear in the App Store at all???
Has it been deleted? There don’t appear to be any other basic web browsers on Umbrel.
Maybe getting in contact with @denny so he can put them in his store. I don’t see any web browsers in his store and I know there is docker apps made for them.

Hey @oconical! 
The Firefox app has actually been removed from the Umbrel App Store.
In the umbrel-app.yml there’s a note:
Removal Notice: The Firefox app has been disabled as there are no more updates that work without HTTPS.
So it’s not just “updating”. It has been disabled upstream.
@goldbug I’ll make the app available in my community store soon so that you can continue using it. 
Meanwhile, the following web browsers are already available in my store as alternatives: Brave Browser, Mullvad Browser, Ungoogled Chromium Browser, Tor Browser, LibreWolf Browser, and Neko Browser.
Please note that these are only available for the AMD64 architecture (e.g., Umbrel Home).

That’s great - thanks.
I’m not using Umbrel Home - I have installed the OS on a mini PC.
You’re welcome! 
Just to clarify, the AMD64 browsers I mentioned are compatible with any AMD64-based Umbrel installation, not only Umbrel Home. So your mini PC setup should work as long as it’s AMD64.

Fantastic - thanks.
Quick update: Firefox has been added to my community App Store. Please note that for now there won’t be any updates available due to the HTTPS limitation.

I’ll look at the mess this container is to see what we can do up make it https.
If I wasn’t doing many things I would help build a new Umbel fork or submit changes to this one.
Thanks for doing an app store.
The only way I think the easiest way you could do it is have a self signed cert generated at install from the Docker file.
I’m still trying to figure out the best way to turn all of it https, because there is a few ways to do that and no matter how I do it, it would be easier to package that in a shell file to execute,

Thanks for checking it out! Yeah, the HTTPS stuff is definitely tricky with this container. A self-signed cert at install sounds like the easiest workaround for now.
The only other option is to run a CA on the network which has to be a separate computer for stapling to work correctly. But there is nothing stopping anyone from making a 10Yr self signed. You just can’t use it on anything but a local domain. Its only two lines you would have to add to the docker compose.
I haven’t learned very much about this type virtualization, but it doesn’t seem hard to pick up. However, I know golang. java, python, perl and c++ so the code under it I understand more than the top level programming you use to set up the app. If that makes any sense.
