Hello beautiful people, Firefox is currently over 2 weeks out of date which is concerning as it containes cve patches. Pop is usually quick with these updates, is the update going to be pushed any time soon? Thanks.
Are you currently using the default Firefox that came with the distro? If so, that might explain why it’s out of date. When I do a clean install of a distro, I usually uninstall the apps that came with it, like Firefox and LibreOffice, because they are out of date and may not get updated to the latest stable version. I would reinstall them using APT or Flatpak or the DEB file through the app website.
Mozilla also has this page for how to do a Firefox install without using a package manager: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-firefox-linux#w_install-firefox-from-mozilla-builds
If you install Firefox from the Mozilla builds, it will include the auto-update function directly in the browser via Help -> About Firefox.
I’m familiar with Linux, Pop self packages Firefox and usually has the update out within a day or two. They have updated it but just not pushed the update: update - no release
Maybe they just forgot.
An update was just pushed out for Firefox:
They just pushed out an update 290
My Firefox crashes every time I use DeepL plugin, hopefully the new update fixes that
strangest thing. i updated firefox and now i have no notifications. only a limited number of sites have notification perms; they still say they have that permission and my system settings still have firefox allowed. i have another machine running ubuntu (with firefox from the PPA for apt) and notifications are unchanged there.
