[SOLVED] pacman can't find firefox

I just reinstalled my system using the Plasma installer, and "sudo pacman -S firefox" outputs "error: target not found: firefox".

How do I resolve this?

If I’m not mistaken, you need the artix-archlinux-support package.

install artix-archlinux-support package, all archlinux repos are now by default disabled!
check your /etc/pacman.conf and add archlinux repos, which you want, (except [core] of course)

I installed and ran `pacman-key --populate archlinux` , but I still can't install programs like firefox, what further configuration is needed and how would I go about doing it?

did you this? you have to enable archlinux repo in pacman.conf, no one will do it for you

Ah, so I'll need to type in the links to the repos in the config file, right?
EDIT: correction, so for example `include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist` changes to include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch`?

Thanks, should I append this to the pacman.conf file?

Since from now on all archlinux repos are disabled by default, is it planned that Firefox will be included in an Artix repo?
Or is librewolf now the alternative, apart from enabling the archlinux repos of course?
