From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Shit like this made me dump Mint more than a decade ago. I've been very happy with Debian (Sid).
Mint doesn't do this. It never did do this. Stop lying.
It did do it on old versions now it doesn't.
By memory it had a Firefox extension it installed and relied on to make a few things slightly smoother like h264 video, but that was a good decade ago and Mint today doesn't like you said
Not an extension something modification in the .Mozilla folder.
