      Description of problem:

       

      In RHEL 10, Firefox and Thunderbird are available exclusively as Flatpaks:

       

             https://docs.redhat.com/en/documentation/red_hat_enterprise_linux/10-beta/html-single/10.0_beta_release_notes/index#new-features-and-enhancements-desktop

       

      While the Firefox Flatpak is not preinstalled in the RHEL 10.0 Beta, it will be automatically installed once the system is registered and connected to the Internet. The official documentation outlines the steps to add the Flatpak repository to the system.

             https://flatpaks.redhat.io/rhel-10-beta.flatpakrepo

      It will be a blocker for customers using a disconnected air-gapped network where the hosts does not have direct internet access and the hosts are registered to Satellite. There is currently no option to add Flatpak registries to Satellite. This limitation would prevent users in such environments from obtaining Firefox in a Red Hat-supported way.
