I just went to online update in Leap 42.3 and see there is one for Firefox from 52.8.0 to 60.0. That seems like quite a jump and again its surprising to see a major version change pushed as an update partway through a release's lifecycle.
I expect that updating Firefox is going to cause me grief to get it back the way I like it at a minimum, and perhaps break some of my add-ons.
I expect to have to deal with grief like that when I update my distro version, not at random intervals in between. If I wanted system that needed continuous tender loving care, I would choose Tumbleweed.
So what's going on?
First LibreOffice, now Firefox?
The Firefox release overview can be found here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/ The gecko-based version 52 ESR will be end of life on Aug. 28th, and the new quantum-based version 60 ESR just came out on May 9th. openSUSE maintainers are keeping in line with Mozilla's release schedule. As for what Wolfgang said, you have some more time but soon you will need to upgrade. All of the important extensions I use such as uBlock Origin, NoScript, Cookie Auto Delete, Privacy Badger and HTTPS Everywhere have already been released as WebExtensions. Many extensions have been rewritten or ported from XUL. Please note, legacy extensions will no longer work with 60 ESR. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
