it turns out that this package is preinstalled on recent librem 5 shipments, even though firefox-esr is not. thanks very much for pointing out firefox-esr-mobile-config.
can anyone explain why firefox is not in the pureos store even when “show incompatible applications” is enabled? in particular, why is it okay for new non-computer-expert users to get an extremely crashy web browser and have a much more usable one hidden from them? i can install firefox-esr but needing to use the command line to get a usable web browser is a bit much to expect from some new users. it turns out that it is currently much more usable than epiphany on the librem 5 even though there are many problems using firefox on the small screen. i had presumed that firefox not showing up at all in the pureos store even when “show incompatible applications” is enabled meant that it was unusable. thanks very much for referring me to firefox. that’s not a nice experience to give to new librem 5 owners. 
would it make sense for new users to be warned about this epiphany problem until it is fixed? when i received my new librem 5 my experience was that web browsing was extremely unreliable. thanks much for the explanation that the epiphany crashiness is due to a recent update! how will i know when it is fixed? can i presume if there is any update to the packages you mention that this means the problem is fixed?. Long live free software and free hardware! Is there any alternative to epiphany that is usable? firefox doesn’t show up at all in the pureos store even with incompatible apps shown. 
I was able to install chromium in the pureos store after turning on the option to show incompatible apps, but chromium doesn’t even launch (which is probably why it is not marked as compatible). for example, trying to read topics on this forum is a nightmare because i often have to tap on the “Reload” button that shows up when a page crashes 5 or 6 times before it actually loads the page long enough for me to read a few posts in the topic, at which point the page crashes again.ĭoes anyone actually find epiphany usable? this includes when a page crashes but epiphany itself doesn’t, and also what appears to be the entire epiphany running app crashing (at least all of its windows disappear and i am thrown back to the phosh app grid). one of the most significant observations i have is that epiphany (“Web”) is extremely crashy.
