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.

What this person told you was wrong, you need to use
flatpak run [package id]to run flatpak apps. You can doflatpak listto see all installed flatpaks with their ids. An id looks something likeorg.example.appand you'd run it withflatpak run org.example.app.Also, is it shown as being installed in Discover? If it's not you could try just installing it again and if it is, you can try uninstalling it first. The user data for Firefox should stay intact.
And if ever unsure, look up Firefox on flathub; every app page shows the command line instructions for installing and for running it.
Bash will cache command locations so it doesn't need to scan your path too frequently. You can clear it with "hash -r".
See the other comment about running flatpaks - it's their fatal flaw imho.
