…ogin to Ankama services The Ankama Launcher now expects to be able to open a web browser to allow you to log in to Ankama Services (it doesn't allow you to login directly from the launcher anymore for some reason...). Distrobox supposedly [allow to open links from the host's web browser](89luca89/distrobox@e15cec7#diff-9020f2495b4d9502f4b28c23de195d9bb5b78f003378f25416bc016cc4996865R895) but it doesn't seem to work with every setup (at least it doesn't on mine), eventually preventing people from login to Ankama services and play games. As a workaround, we'll now install a web browser within the container (firefox) and open links directly through it, instead of relying on the host machine's web browser (which will eventually fail depending on the host's setup). This might not be the most elegant solution, but at least it's guaranteed to work with every setup.
