    No, Firefox did not do that. It cannot install packages in your system.

    and framerate on recordings stalled
    out. It more than likely interferes with opengl. RIP Firefox...

    hunspell-gl is a dictionary. GL being a shortcut for Galician, not OpenGL.

    $ apt show hunspell-gl
    (...)
    This is the Galician dictionary for use with the hunspell spellchecker.

    Now, we cleared that, what problem with OpenGL or Firefox are you
    having? Have you tried running Fx from new, empty profile?

    To my untutored eye, this doesn't look right.
    You appear to be involved in academia, and it's much more likely to be associated with something like a LaTeX install. Being a southern state,
    a Spanish dictionary could be called for.
    Cheers!

    apt show firefox-esr-l10n-gl
    ...
    Recommends: hunspell-gl-es | hunspell-gl

    My guess is that either firefox-esr-l10n-gl was installed to improve GL support or the package was pulled by firefox-esr-l10n-all.



    firefox-esr-l10n-gl : Galician language package for Firefox ESR
