Yep. So the bug is that the RPM and flatpak versions use different
ID's for the same application, therefore Software lists them in search
results as separate apps. There should be only one result for
Thunderbird and Firefox. And then there's a drop down menu on the
upper right side that let's you choose whether to install RPM or
flatpak and if flatpak from which source because it could be from
flathub.org or
fedoraproject.org. I think any confusion in this area
is at least suspicious of a bug (or suboptimal UI/UX). So I recommend
constructive criticism with bug reporting for this. My understanding
is the intent is to favor RPM on conventional desktop edition/spins.
And to favor flatpak on rpm-ostree spins (Silverblue, Kinoite).
