firefox(1) in Fedora says > firefox is a simple shell script that will set up the environment for the actual executable, firefox-bin. > ... > /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox-bin - firefox executable but the shell script wraps /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox, not firefox-bin, so these two lines should be changed. The Debian firefox(1) man page https://manpages.debian.org/unstable/firefox/firefox.1.en.html correctly documents the firefox-bin file as "Legacy executable" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Read the firefox.1 man page When and if 2342438 is fixed, the Fedora build won't include a firefox-bin binary.
Feel free to post the manpages update here. Thanks.

This bug is still present in Fedora 43. I haven't summoned the strength to compare and merge Fedora's quite outdated https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/firefox/blob/rawhide/f/firefox.1 with the Linux man pages in Firefox source browser/installer/linux/app/rpm/manpage.1.in and browser/installer/linux/app/debian/manpage.1.in
