[opensuse-factory] Firefox 57 aka Quantum
Hi all, next week Mozilla launches Firefox 57 also called Quantum (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/quantum/) I finally came around to prepare a very first openSUSE package which can be installed from OBS mozilla:beta since yesterday. Firefox 57 contains quite a number of changes and therefore it would be nice if people could have a look at it and play around before it's released approximately end of next week to Tumbleweed and in the mozilla repo. The currently available package is quite untested still. I could launch it on my 42.3 system and surf around but what is currently completely untested is the KDE integration and other usecases. So I'm looking for your feedback while I probably do a few rebuilds over the week with small changes. Please keep in mind that most of your addons will stop working due to removal of the old extension apis. So only modern extensions using the WebExtension infrastructure will continue to work. Obviously there is no value in reporting or complain about that fact to me. Tumbleweed is supposed to have the latest stuff so we need to live with that. In parallel 42.x will still carry the 52ESR version which is also available for Tumbleweed in the mozilla repo.

I have to add something: A package for Tumbleweed is not yet available unfortunately but just 42.3. There are build fixes required for TW still :-( Wolfgang Am 07.11.2017 um 15:59 schrieb Wolfgang Rosenauer:

ah, sorry. If you use the mozilla:beta repo you also need to have the mozilla repo as a baseline because you need newer versions of depending libraries which are "stable" and therefore not in the beta repository.

I just added the main Mozilla repo and it's installing. -- Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

So far Firefox 56.99-2.1.x86_64 from https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/mozilla:beta (with mozilla repo enabled) works pretty well (fast) on Leap 42.3 with KDE Frameworks LTS 5.8.8. I do not like the new look (square tabs instead of round ones, etc.), but that is a different story. By the way, add-ons that are not compatible with Firefox >= 57 are just disabled and still listed. Thank you for your efforts. Regards, Frank -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I agree. It's much faster in start up and performance. I wish that the Mozilla devs could integrate the classic theme restorer extension code so that it is part of Firefox. Cheers!

It's intended by Mozilla to still have them listed in a "Legacy" section, esp. so that if the add-on creators upload a WebExtension version of them, they can be get the update and have the add-on working again. AFAIK, this will go away at some point in the future, but for now, it's there for a transition time.

I've just installed it on Tumbleweed. Getting SSL_ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED_ALERT for mail.google.com. Other Google sites seem to work fine. Trying a new profile didn't make a difference. The suggestion here [1] worked: "in about:config modify the value security.tls.version.max to 3 instead of 4" but that's not a real solution... Not sure if this can be distro-specific.

So FTR this got fixed after updating to the final version from mozilla repo yesterday. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I sincerely hope the answer for 42.x is "never" or at least "not before 52 ESR support ends". Switching the standard firefox package to 57 now would be against the very idea Leap was built on.

Leap 42.x will likely never see Firefox 57 officially since many toolchain dependencies are too old to support building Firefox 57. In addition Leap is ESR land with the 52esr series. Leap 15 might get it. (Depending the timing of ESR and toolchain compatibility once it's time for Leap 15). Tumbleweed submission is waiting to be staged and openQAed to release it once this process is successful. Until then you could still use the mozilla repo for Leap 42.3 or Tumbleweed packages. It is (source-wise) identical to the one submitted to Tumbleweed.

You can also install Firefox Developer Edition. It's a standalone, self-updating install, and is nice to have as an additional browser on your machine. Note though, that you'll get alpha and beta builds, but so far I haven't had issues with that, and I've been running it for about two years now. It's currently on 57.0b14. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEE7GM/Dul8WSWn72odQ1nEo4DFCIUFAloMdJsACgkQQ1nEo4DF CIXOJQf/UqHdhkagya9JjYQJe6CGwHeqgPLRmmNa5dI6wDZmOGUDXcLLhS0XIiFo xLRvqZ9g34FH3W1VuKqhcEntEOvIVd346v/g8qxRaeo8b/8LbIXis7Ic9ohzbRFu VA6+yGSJFcVoCDCmC3k6eDn522zQEit9xbOrivnhbnmqLA00ivs/IKnlIADPeDFq okcuTD1Z6XzgRrjIcRHF+BpK+CLT3Rctm5DBQLhC8BULJp/Z33SfJYBnuvRTG76z +Ml+GMzuVktp5td3DUhc5uesj8pPtJwJqmfkJrzTrf2qsO1xZkxLEY9inZ52hqxl C3sESzYkUlRCosizaLHdyS2kZskhnw== =wrux -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

I have used the Firefox 57 Beta until now as home directory installation and can not spot any difference.
I am already using Firefox 57 as a default browser after years of Chromium. The only issue I have found so far is that gotomeeting refuses to work but this is not a packaging issue.
