Once you did this, you should be able to run the following inside your terminal:
```sh
$ curl_ff117 --version

It's very hacky, yes thank you for noticing. There's also the option of using the [forked project](https://github.com/lexiforest/curl-impersonate), but that garbage doesn't support NSS. I'm kind of against impersonating chrome cause you never know when Google is gonna add more fingerprinting bullshit. It **MUST** say NSS, otherwise it didn't work.
