Describe the bug

If you choose Firefox to be installed the playbook installs the Microsoft store version. This also causes a lot of issues which is when i found out that this is the Microsoft store version.
For example, when i was trying to import my old Firefox profile i couldn't access the profile location.
There are also other bugs as described on the end of this support article (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/download-firefox-windows-microsoft-store)
It also makes the app look shady and unofficial because instead of being called "Firefox" its called "MozillaFirefox"

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install ReviOS using the playbook
  2. Choose Firefox as the Browser of choice
  3. Wait for the playbook to finish
  4. Discover that the wrong Firefox is installed

Expected behavior

I thought this was going to be an easy fix but there's no official .exe version of Firefox on the winget repo so the only solutions are to either remove the option to install Firefox from the playbook and possibly replace it with something else, somehow make it so the playbook installs Firefox from the website directly or maybe open an issue at the winget repos to include a normal version of Firefox

Environment

  • OS Build Number & Edition: Win 11 Home 26100.2894
  • ReviOS Version: 24.12
  • Specs: `Doesn't matter but
  • CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor 3.95 GHz
  • RAM 16,0 GB
  • GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070`

Are you using an official version of Revi-PB 24.12?

data: 'cmd /c title Firefox && winget install Mozilla.Firefox --source winget --override "/S /MaintenanceService=false" --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements'

The source is winget meaning that Firefox isn't being downloaded from MS Store
