Just for info, I installed F29 in a
vm from scratch, and then upgraded
to F31 from F29. The upgrade installed Firefox V72 and for me it worked
fine (except under Wayland along with other packages). I don't normally
use this version of Firefox, I use the nightly version of Firefox which
is V74.0a1, and other than the Wayland issues it seems to work fine).
