While
Pavroo said "firefox-sparky" was replaced by "firefox-latest", it seems not to be my case...
"firefox-sparky (147.0.2~repack0)" has been updated to "firefox-sparky (147.0.2~repack2)",
BUT this package is empty, and Firefox-Sparky disappears.
Previous package (147.0.2~repack0) can't be reinstalled, neither "firefox-latest", that can't be found.
Any solution?
Maybe update the "147.0.2~repack2" package?
Thank you in advance!
OF COURSE, I should have say Hi before everything!!
My apologies!

(https://i.imgur.com/IqZHXhe.gif) Well, in my opinion, it seems that you have some serious problem with the 'sources' that you use:

So, check that you have the
SparkyLinux repositories correctly configured:

Hi AxL, and thanks!,
Despite very regular distribution upgrades, I was still on "sisters", indeed. I changed for "tiamat". By the way, I did forget, but it's not the first time that sources don't update with "dist-upgrade". Anyway.
I do update and upgrade, as usual:
sudo apt-get check && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -f && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get distclean && sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get purge

You're welcome !!
First of all, you shouldn't change SparkyLinux sources (the image above, was just an example) to testing (when you're using the Stable version / Seven-Sisters).
And even less to mix stable sources and testing. (https://i.imgur.com/4GCd6.gif)

Honestly, I don't know what your problem is. (https://i.imgur.com/8tU9he6.gif)
So, check thoroughly if there are any errors (repository, signatures... etc).
Or use the available option '
sudo apt modernize-sources'
sudo apt modernize-sources && sudo apt --update upgrade && sudo apt install firefox-latest
(https://i.imgur.com/hVCcHkU.png)
Finally, check if everything is working as it should be ... (https://i.imgur.com/4GCd6.gif)
Good luck !!

And that was it!
Actually, I'm using the rolling version of Sparky since the install a few years ago;
however, as I clumsily mentioned it before, I already had an issue with sources update.
It seems that neither "modernize-sources" nor "dist-upgrade" do modify sources as expected;
that explains the odd mix of sources you saw.
The fact remains that sources were the issue, probably causing a conflict.
I did manually update ALL the sources, according to
this pavroo's note, and then, I could install "firefox-latest" and even get back my current profile!
That said, I thank you both pavroo & AxL and wish you a good evening!
I'm glad you were able to solve your problem properly.
You're welcome !! (https://i.imgur.com/emjz0.gif)
