So assuming i'm missing the display things, what am I missing?
And assuming I could display them since the first hit seems to have a
screenshot, which seems to be random tree foliage why are the others
a blank
box?
Using xfce as a desktop. What do I need to make an $18 supermarket
scanner
read these things for firefox?
The supermarket scanner might not be able to read QR codes; most
supermarkets use UPC and similar 1 dimensional bar codes.
The one I selecttd for 18$ claimed it red qr too, we shall see.
You can encode any text you want into a QR code and save it as
a PNG with the qrencode package.
If you want other barcode formats, the zint package handles
almost all of them, including QR.
You can display the QR code in a terminal with the qrterminal
package -- no X11 or Wayland required.
If you want an X11 program to create and display QR codes,
the qreator package does all of that.

This one gives a menu in icons, look like it will work, but reading them
before clicking would be the main interest. Thank you a lot.
