As stated, I had w3m installed and installed elinks. I had the www-browser virtual package. Short of spending more time skimming through the dependencies of firefox-esr and seeing which ones I had vs which ones I didn't or reading through pages of documentation, I spent 10 mins reinstalling the OS. It solved my problem as (poor) of a workaround it might have been. Marked as solved because it solved my problem. But again, thank you for replying and trying to help solve the problem. It really is appreciated.

Thank you for your reply. I already had w3m installed and after installing elinks I still had the issue. I reinstalled firefox-esr and still had the issue. Rebooted after installing both and issue still persisted. Not sure what I deleted when removing firefox but it sure caused a problem. Fresh install solved the issue.

I installed Chimaera earlier today and everything has been great so far except for one little issue.
I'm on a bone stock xfce fresh install.
All I've done is uninstalled firefox and thunar and replaced them with brave and nautilus.
Updated via apt update and apt upgrade and all went according to plan. Rebooted after updates installed because kernel was updated as well.
Logged back in after rebooting with new kernel (probably unrelated, but may be worth mentioning), opened terminal and typed sudo apt autoremove and was met with what you see in screenshot. I didn't confirm because some of those things seem important. I'm not exactly inexperienced in the Linux world but I'm far from an expert. Anything I can do to remedy this? And what could cause something like this?
