So I went to update my apps and was greeted with these warnings in FDroid. A quick and basic search online and in various communities yielded no news regarding a major compromise in Fennec and Mull, does anyone know more about this or have you seen any news regarding a vulnerability? Curious if this is a false positive or if there is something going on with firefox forks.

I apologize. I didn’t see that my Obtainium was actually pulling from the fdroid repo. I was able to add it to Obtainium from the Divest repo: https://divestos.org/fdroid/official/us.spotco.fennec_dos_21320020.apk

But I really doubt that it will trigger updates, since it’s tied to the current version apk.

I update my browsers and K9 via FFupdater, that’s where my confusion came from. And I thank you for calling me our, I just removed Mull from my Obtainium.
