Why can't I find Firefox in the AppCenter? enter image description here

Not only Firefox, but also other non-elementary Apps.

AFAIK the AppCenter only shows apps whitin the Ubuntu Store and sources. If those apps you have aren't on the official repos they won't show up there.

  1. In the repositories included with Loki.
  2. Have an AppData file that conforms to specification OR
  3. Have a .desktop file that conforms to specification.

That said, Firefox appears in my AppCentre.

  • You mean I have to include other repositories? It is installed from the official repository.

Try

sudo apt update

This may be related to an unfixed bug:

AppCenter is empty if apt update has never been run [$30]

Expectation: AppCenter fires up packagekitd and updates the software catalog transparently in the background when the session starts up

Reality: AppCenter only shows data for the pre-installed packages. packagekitd never fixes it. AppCenter is useless until you open a Terminal and manually run apt update
