[Testing - Bookworm] [SOLVED] Firefox ESR version
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.

Re: [Testing - Bookworm] Firefox ESR version
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.

Re: [Testing - Bookworm] Firefox ESR version
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.FreewheelinFrank wrote: ↑2023-03-18 20:37 Firefox ESR 102.9 is in Sid. Are you sure you haven't upgraded to Sid?

Re: [Testing - Bookworm] Firefox ESR version
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).

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

Re: [Testing - Bookworm] [SOLVED] Firefox ESR version
Probably never. FF112 appears to be available in unstable. Testing will get firefox-esr which has just upgraded to 102.10.0esr-1
