I ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, but it did not upgrade FF to 74.

Here is the terminal:

do you have firefox installed? antiX ships with firefox-esr IIRC.

in anycase, firefox 74 is in the repo, although I guess mirror repos may take some time to catch up.

Yes, I have FF installed and the current version is 73.0.1.

I will wait a try again after the repos catch up.
