Maasi How many packages are installed in your system? neofetch can report that.

Maasi still cannot open firefox

maybe the gods are telling you it's time to give Vivaldi a try? 🙂

That sounds like something went very wrong (or the update didn't complete). Which desktop environment?
Since the Files doesn't work, if you're on GNOME or Budgie, can you try running nautilus from the terminal and see what error comes up?

By the way, I would also recommend sudo eopkg up from the terminal to make sure you really are up-to-date. If that is the case, then maybe a restart would be in order.

Maasi is it better?

Among the popular browsers, "better" is often a matter of taste. However, I think it's enough better that I've removed all other browsers from my computers, and use only Vivaldi on them all. There are lots of other advantages to Vivaldi, but its tab handling features are extraordinary.

Maasi It's far more sophisticated than Firefox or Chrome.
