Can I get more info on why these are showing up? I’ve never seen such a thing on F-Droid before.
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?
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
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.
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.
You add https://divestos.org/apks/official/fdroid/repo/ as a repo in F-Droid settings. After that you can choose which repo to prefer for Mull.
Or should I be looking somewhere other than F-Droid for Android Firefox?
FFUpdater, on F-Droid, manages updates for Firefox and other browsers. I counted nine variations of Firefox or forks of Firefox. As well as eight variations of Chromium based browsers that aren’t Chrome. So that’s 17 options.
