Firefox relies on patching software to resolve issues. How do I do this?

You appear to have the current Firefox 151.0 on Linux.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux

This is for the official version from Mozilla and not the snap, flatpak, deb, rpm etc versions. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/update-firefox-latest-release

If you use the Linux tarball from Mozilla https://www.firefox.com/download/all/ then you need to make sure the Firefox folder have read/write permissions for the user account on Linux distro to get internal Firefox updates the same way as on Windows and macOS Firefox.
