As usual Librewolf release follows ff latest release as quickly as possible.
https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/appimage/-/releases
Fresh Update is now available for download on the Gitlab page.As usual please check sha256 sum before using or unpacking the appimage.
Howto for appimage or using unpacked is in forum threads so will not repeat that.

There is now an official Librewolf repo for Debian Bullseye-based systems that appears to be current and is able to update the browser. I’ve used it on antiX 21 for awhile. Maybe this could be put in the antiX PackageInstaller soon?

As andyprough gives no details I assume he means getting LibreWolf from the project site.
Official builds are 64 bit only. There is also an official build for unstable available.https://librewolf.net/installation/debian/
Pls Note librewolf site says
#Attention. We only build LibreWolf for Debian 11, Ubuntu 20/21/22 and Mint 20.2/20.3. If you don’t use one of those distros, the above commands will install the Ubuntu 20 build for you which may or may not work. If you want to manually choose a different distro’s build, then change the first of the above commands to point at that distro. E.g. to install the Debian 11 build, run targetdistro=bullseye.So setup looks like below.
targetdistro=bullseye wget -O- https://deb.librewolf.net/keyring.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/librewolf.gpg sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/librewolf.sources << EOF > /dev/null Types: deb URIs: https://deb.librewolf.net Suites: $distro Components: main Architectures: amd64 Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/librewolf.gpg EOF sudo apt update sudo apt install librewolf -yI gave up on the installation of official builds that way due lagging way behind appimage.
universal build, assume that has now changed.If updates are now timely I would second the request for inclusion in the package installer.
LibreWolf is an excellent browser, stable, compatible with almost all sites and no pulling
wool over faces on privacy.Only thing I change is to add MetaGer search engine as default.

Yes, I am using their deb repo, and I have 105.0.1-1, the same as the current version of Firefox. So they are keeping it up to date now.
I think it would be an excellent addition to the PackageInstaller’s browsers section.
@andyprough,
thanks for info regarding updates, will switch back to the debian repo.
I think LibreWolf will become even more needed shortly due to upcoming changes in
chrome chromium which are intended to greatly reduce efficiency of ad blocking.Much of googles income comes from ads and differentiated placement of search results.
Putting paying customers prominently in search results, tracking the user and cashing
in on sales..andyprough

If we can get Librewolf in the PackageInstaller, it should give a lot of people a good option if they can no longer get Brave or Vivaldi to work the way they need.

Hello,
I am visiting the forum using the latest librewolf browser version 105.0.3-1.Everything works great in librewolf. I recommend it. It has the speed and performance as firefox. The only issue, from my point of view, about librewolf is when I try to update librewolf. Downloading the latest version from their server is slow.

Regarding download speed that may depend on location ans server load.
A few minutes ago I needed about 3 seconds to pull the latest deb package.OUCH,
a few hours later slower than snail speed sets in. Wanted to setup the LibreWolf
repo for install. Gave up waiting.
Downloaded the deb and installed that.- This reply was modified 7 months ago by ModdIt.
