Interesting. I know that 128.0 was released at the same time as 115.13 and there will be synchronised updates of the two until 115 EOL. But mozilla FF is still telling me 115.13.0(esr) is up to date, so it sounds like openSUSE is ahead of the official ESR release.
Yes, just a bit of a TW cockup. Nothing wrong with a rolling-release being even with upstream, but the issue here is FF 128 is actually the NEW version, not the ESR version, that will remain 115.x.x through October, 2024 (roughly another quarter) The issue arises in mozilla intending to base the new ESR on 128 when 115 is EOL. So the mozilla repo jumped the gun on branding both 115 and 128 "firefox-esr" at the same time. (If I really wanted to, I could drop to 115 and pull my profile from the Leap 15.4 disk and just lose about 10 days -- not an issue, but as long as 128 continues to support uBlock, NoScript and Privacy Badger (or Ghostery), then I'm good with the version bump) -- David C.
