Uninstalling my primary browser isn’t really a practical solution, what am I supposed to use, Chrome? How about fixing the version they’re shipping? Or should I be looking somewhere other than F-Droid for Android Firefox?
huh? no one’s asking them to fix firefox, we’re asking that they just ship the latest version.
the warning states that several vulnerabilities have been fixed since firefox version 130, f-droid’s latest version of the package is 129: that very much makes it sound like the problem is wholly caused by f-droid not making version 130 available.
Well ok if thats the case you are completely right, as long as there isnt some kind of issue and others have already updated the package pushing security fixes asap is indeod important

Theyre the distributor, the dont fix apps and its not their job to do so. Getting the same app from a different source wont change anything

I just install Firefox from the Play Store. 🤷♂️ Is that bad?
Yes
Why?
Goggle bad :^)
But Firefox good…? Serious replies only please, I really am curious.
Iceraven is a Mozilla based standin.
Can install FFUpdater here:
https://f-droid.org/packages/de.marmaro.krt.ffupdater/
and then select it from there.
I changed to the Divest-repo for Mull, and they have an updated version that has fixed these security issues.
ETA: Different signing keys though, so you can’t just update it, but have to reinstall.
How do you do that?
