[Testing - Bookworm] [SOLVED] Firefox ESR version

[ticojohn]

Here is a strange one. I had upgraded one of my drives to Bookworm about two weeks ago and the version of Firefox ESR installed was 102.8. I subsequently upgraded two more drives and the version of Firefox ESR is 102.9. However, when I try to update and upgrade the originally upgraded drive it says everything is up to date. What's going on? Will I not get a Firefox ESR update until Bookworm is released? There is probably a way to do the update but I am at a loss. Help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Firefox ESR 102.9 is in Sid. Are you sure you haven't upgraded to Sid?

Edit: Wait! It's also in stable-security. You probably had it as a security update before the upgrade.

Thanks for the feedback. I was just looking and saw that it was in Sid, but NO I did not update to Sid. And for all three installs I did a Bullseye update before upgrading to Bookworm. So I am perplexed as to why only the latest update has 102.9. It is not a show stopper but it is confusing. Perhaps I upgraded the first two drives BEFORE 102.9 made into stable-security. That would kind of make sense.

Thanks again @FreewheelinFrank

It went into stable-security on 2023-03-15, so upgrades two weeks ago would be stuck with the older version until 102.9 goes into Testing (which it will).

I assumed as much. Thanks.

Testing does not get security updates, or at least not as quickly as stable.
