Just curious, in the end I installed librewolf-bin because at a certain point the PC froze because the installation had occupied all the RAM (16GB). thanks.

my specs:

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel: 6.7.0-arch3-1
DE: Plasma 5.27.10
WM: kwin
CPU: Intel i7-8565U (8) @ 4.600GHz
GPU: Intel WhiskeyLake-U GT2 [UHD Graphics 620]
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce MX150
Memory: 5260MiB / 15771MiB

You might want to try yay -S librewolf-bin. The command that you entered will compile the librewolf app from the source code. That's going to take a long time and is probably the reason why the process is occupying all your RAM.

Take a look at this section of the librewolf website: https://librewolf.net/installation/arch/

Is the binary bit-for-bit compatible? Would be a nice way to verify

Please don't take my words too seriously, but I think there have to be some kind of checksum in the pkgbuild. I often get errors from paru about being unable to install some bin package because checksums don't match. But I'm not an expert and am kinda guessing.
