That's why I put the condition 'if you're in a hurry'.
I ask you, on this occasion, why are you releasing a test version?
You are right, there are many users other than Firefox who encounter problems using test versions (especially those related to KDE). However, I have never seen a comment telling people not to use test versions.
Rather than not using them, it would be better not to release them.
to be a bit more specific: In the "mozilla" repository are no test versions! For test versions there would be the :beta, and :experimental subprojects which are not really used currently. mozilla contains in 99,99% of the cases fully released upstream software which is a few days later submitted - as is - to Tumbleweed. Can there be issues still? - YES Either caused by Mozilla releasing something broken. Just look at 125.0 and 125.0.1 or because an existing patch is not fully compatible anymore. In that case there is even a VERY good chance that it ends up in Tumbleweed exactly the same way because it's not discovered immediately and the time from upstream to TW release should be as short as possible. Please note that there was one incident just a few weeks ago where a submission to the NSS component was killing addon signatures. And because the submission looked sane and came from @suse it was already in the Tumbleweed queue. So I think it was more or less pure luck that it didn't get through. But on the other hand that is why it has value if some people use the repo because otherwise almost every issue would directly hit through to TW. Wolfgang
