Mozilla Firefox is slow even if hardware acceleration is enabled?

Try enabling gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled in about:config to force the use of EGL¹ and then restart the web browser.

Manage Flatpak Permissions Graphically With Flatseal For Granular Control Of User Level Apps

Just like Android, you can control the access to system resources by Flatpak applications. By default, that happens with Flatpak commands and not everyone can be comfortable with it. And hence, there is this tiny utility called Flatseal that allows you to manage and control the Flatpak permissions at application level.

Note, this does not work with system/root level Flatpak apps.
