=== Opening Links with Firefox ===
If you use Discord and it silently fails to open links in Firefox, you possibly have encountered [https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/78961 issue #78961]. This is caused by a version mismatch between the NSS libraries used by Discord and Firefox. Luckily, a relatively easy workaround is available:
First, find out which NSS version Firefox is currently using with
<syntaxhighlight lang="console">
$ nix path-info $(which firefox) -r | grep nss-
</syntaxhighlight>
This should print a few store paths, focus on their ends, which should look like <code>nss-x.xx</code>. We're interested in the one with the newest version. Next, create a new file called <code>discord_patched.nix</code> and paste the following code into it:
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">
with import <nixpkgs> {};
pkgs.discord.override {
    nss = pkgs.nss_3_49_2;
}
</syntaxhighlight>
Now replace <code>nss_3_49_2</code> with the previously looked up version's "attribute name", which you can look up [https://search.nixos.org/packages/?query=nss_ here]. Finally, build and install this patched package with
<syntaxhighlight lang="console">
$ export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1; nix-env -i $(nix-build discord_patched.nix) --arg config '{ allowUnfree = true; }'
</syntaxhighlight>
Log in again and you should be able to open links properly.
