Your system???
The latest version of Leap 15.3 & KDE.
The assumption (remember that not everybody knows what you are doing, and those that know may not be doing the same thing and thus may not know what are the versions involved) is: You had 15.2 with Firefox 78.10.0esr (at least that is what I have), and you have upgraded to 15.3 with Firefox - which? Assuming that the version on 15.3 is indeed lower, then open a bug asking for FF to be upgraded, and wait. If it is not lower, then again open a bug. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Actually, it was 89 and was downgraded to 78 with 15.3. After adding the repo someone else mentioned, I was able to get 89 again. Apparently a couple of things have been downgraded. Another that I'm aware of is VirtualBox. The "update" is actually older than what I had before.

The thing is, you are not using the nominal FF that Leap has. 89 is not ESR, it is the newest version. When you are using a non-standard version, it is you who has to be aware of it and take actions when needed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)

I'm running into more and more sites (mostly commercial, e.g. my bank, my electric utility) that either complain or refuse to work with the ESR version. :-( Leslie -- openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64

There have been a lot of changes for security reasons that come with the newer versions. What I should do is complain to my bank as they still say to use IE, even though MS is killing it.

I have, but the offending sites invariably fail to provide a contact for their webmaster, and their front-line complaint response people are―you guessed it―unresponsive. Leslie -- openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64
