Whether this thread or one of your others it's been mentioned several times that https://packages.artixlinux.org is not up to date, possibly unmaintained(?).
Another place you can search for packages is https://gitea.artixlinux.org/. There you will find the actual build files. But if there's build files there's likely a package.

Go here https://gitea.artixlinux.org/packagesA/artix-mirrorlist/src/branch/master/trunk/mirrorlist
and there's the mirrorlist. Chose a mirror and, for example, go to this part of one of the urls https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/artix-linux/repos. Then you can drill down and see exactly which packages are in each repo.

In each repo you could also just download its database eg https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/artix-linux/repos/galaxy/os/x86_64/galaxy.db.tar.gz and look in that to see what's in the repo.

You could install Artix in a VM and then use pacman to query the database.
You could do similar by creating a chroot with https://gitea.artixlinux.org/artix/artix-bootstrap and then use pacman to query the database.

There are other semi / unofficial repo's as described here https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories. (I believe you'll find Librewolf in 'universe' ?)

So there's quite a few ways to find out which packages are in the Artix repo's without a full install of Artix.
The worst of them is searching packages.artixlinux.org . But you'd been told that.

In a perfect world packages.artixlinux.org would be up to date at all times. Maybe it's on a to do list. I have no clue ? But I imagine top priority is keeping the actual packages working and up to date.



thanks gripped and i have already artix openrc base installed. Now looking forward to use which wm. Since xmonad and qtile are not available.

It all depends on what you're doing.
XFCE + Xfwm4 suits me well, because I mainly use applications for graphics.
Everything remains relatively light and fluid.

There was a problem with the packages database sync on https://packages.artixlinux.org that it is now solved, packages are being updated there regularly and everything should be up to date now.

Sorry for any inconvenience that could have cause you.
